Swim with Whale Sharks

Getting into the water with sharks might be the exact opposite of what most people want when they are on a beach vacation, but seeing mighty whale sharks up close is one of the most incredible activities you can do in the Riviera Maya. The giant aquatic creatures are gentle and harmless, so there is no danger in swimming with them.

Snorkeling alongside a 32-foot shark is guaranteed to give you a shot of adrenaline and might end up being the highlight of your entire trip. Whale sharks gather in the warm waters off the coast of Cancun, so this is one of the best places in the world to swim with them.

For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you can don your mask and snorkel and join a boat tour out to the sharks — make sure you take your underwater camera with you!
