Whale sharks are the oceans biggest fish. They are plankton feeders that spend their time grazing near the surface, swimming slowly as they take in as much as 50 pounds of tiny marine life each day.

Swimming alongside a whale shark is an awe inspiring experience, but because they are grazers, they are absolutely harmless to humans. In fact, many of the sharks have grown accustomed to humans swimming beside them as they glide gently along the water. These massive fish can weigh as much as 47,000 pounds, and grow to be 41 feet long.

The trip begins at Playa del Carmen or in the Riviera Maya and heads to Cancun where the boat awaits. The vessel can hold as many as 10 people, and everything is provided including wetsuits, snorkeling equipment, and various sizes of life preservers.

After a few hours looking for whale sharks, pairs of participants are invited to jump into the water with their professional guide and swim alongside these gentle giants of the sea.

"Imagine for a moment, you are on a boat in beautiful turquoise-colored water on a picture perfect day off the sunny coast of Mexico when suddenly…you spot it…not only the largest fish in the entire world, but the biggest shark in the sea! Your pulse quickens, your heart begins to pound," says the website.

Guests are encouraged to take as many turns as they'd like, and once everyone is ready to head back to land, the boat will motor to Isla Mujeres, where guests can "go for a swim in the gorgeous clear blue waters or take a walk on the beautiful beaches," says the website.

Meanwhile, the captain prepares lunch which includes fresh guacamole and ceviche, as well as fresh fruit and sandwiches. After everyone is done eating and swimming, the group heads back to Cancun to wrap up the day.

Snorkeling with whale sharks is suited for guests who have some snorkeling experience because the water in the ocean can be rough. Absolute Adventure Mexico offers other activities as well, such as snorkeling in cenotes, these beautiful and mysterious water caverns.
