We'll be on Cozumel August 4th...We've done other trips to Tulum and Akumal, but never done one of these snorkles.... Can someone give me a bit of info? I know it would be an all day thing, probably ferry to the mainland etc etc, but I'd LOVE to do it! I'll be staying at SCC, btw.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It can be done from Cozumel. Go to Tank Ha website and they can set you up. You can also take an airplane if you have enough people to share the cost of small plane. About $600. There are also dive shops on Cozumel who can set up a whale shark snorkel. The dive shops are really just acting as third parties to the speed boats in Cancun.
Essentially, you would likely ferry over on the 5 AM ferry to Playa...then take a Mini Van (set up by dive shop) to a small boat dock in Cancun. From there you speed boat north up the coast to the whale sharks. It is much easier than the threads make it sound. This time of year it is very easy for all the speed boats to locate the whale sharks and they relay the information to each other over radio.
And there were plenty of whale sharks to go around!!

I arrive in Cozumel next week. Do you think the blue water and hundreds of Whales will still be around? This big boy would really enjoy not having to work hard to keep up with the whales.
