Whale Sharks From Cancun, Mid-june

[Ron Lee]

May 26/27 may be iffy. Often it seems like the start of the season has issues. Plus the whale sightings may be very low. Give it a try if you wish but do not be upset if unsuccessful.

Years ago we use to start tours mid may but the past couple years federal permits have not been issued till June 1 now. We officially start tours on June 1 - Sept 15.

Hello. Yes we are based in Cozumel, if you are in Cozumel you would have to catch the 6 am ferry. We can also pick up anyone from Playa Del Carmen to Cancun with our shuttle service. Blue H2o Cozumel has a MAY Special for Customers in Cozumel with a free shirt with all pre bookings.

Thanks for that info. I have researched the whale shark tours extensively, and the option of flying to Cancun an hour later is really appealing. However, I have only found one company that does this--"This Is Cozumel". I have asked them which boats they use in their package, because I know the specific company running the boats makes a big difference, Does your company work with anyone on air transfers? Thanks.

have never had anyone request that. We are normally in Cancun at around 750 am and leave out to see the whale sharks around 830 am. If one leaves later than that , you will probably have less whale sharks to see as they start dropping down below the water in the early afternoon. Best to get there early and the boat ride is between 1 hr and 1 1\2 hrs out.

Yes, the plane gets us there in time to leave with all the boats. OK, thanks for the info.
