We're doing the whale sharks this July, we did it in 2012. It's a long day, but worth it. You have to catch the 6:00 am ferry to Playa Del Carmen. Then an hour bus ride to Cancun. Then about 45 minutes to the whale sharks. Allow 3 hours to snorkel with the whale sharks. Then lunch at Isla Mujeres. Then an hour bus ride back to Playa Del Carmen. Then about an hour ferry ride. You get back to Cozumel about 6:30 pm. I said, it's along day but worth it!
So what about a Whale Shark excursion to Isla Mujeres from Cozumel ?

I would spend a day or two and enjoy Isla as well.
There are some great places to eat.

Casa Ixchel was serving Tapas when you orderd beers or cocktails. The Tapas was samples of the dinner menu. The food was good and the place had a great view.
The mild breeze kept us nice and cool.

Hey, whale sharkers:
Ok, I was going get the Keen boats, but they are not available for my dates. We are planning to go to Isla the day before, hang out and whale shark the next day.
What I am looking for is:
1. Larger boats with lots of shade. (The missus can't sit in the sun.)
2. Preferably 2 motors.
I am bring like 14-15 people, so I am probably thinking 2 boat private charters.
Anyone got an op to recommend like that?

See if this one works. There is talk that Isla Mujeres folks are only getting one license per op this year. That may mean two different ops. I am assuming that any one knows of others to fill the need.

Isle Mujueres Whale SharkTours by Searious Diving was the operator we used.
They still show three boats on their website. 26 and 29 feet.

Thanks, TV. I did look at them and one does have the second outboard, but they are a little to panga-like for me. I need MORE sunshade for the missus. Thanks though!
