Go for a snorkel with Mexico\'s gentle giants - whale sharks! Cruising the Gulf of Mexico with an expert guide, you\'ll snorkel the reef and maybe spot dolphins, manta rays and flamingoes on this small group snorkeling adventure off the Yucatan coast.

Mexico\'s Yucatan Peninsula is one of the few places in the world where you can share the water with the world\'s largest fish, the whale shark. Your personalized, small group cruise sets out in search of these gentle creatures for a snorkeling experience you will never forget.

If you are lucky enough to spot a whale shark you will have the chance to jump in the water and snorkel alongside it (conditions permitting) for a wildlife encounter few people ever experience. Found in the world\'s tropical and warm-temperate oceans, the majestic whale shark glides peacefully through the clear waters along the Yucatan coast during the summer months, feeding on the microscopic plankton which thrives in this environment.

You\'ll also snorkel the reef to admire the variety of marine animals and corals residing in the Gulf of Mexico. Be on the lookout for dolphins and manta rays as you enjoy the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. The Yucatan coast is also known for its abundance of bird species, including the brightly colored native flamingos.

A biologist/naturalist will be onboard throughout the day to answer questions you may have about whale sharks, or any other wildlife you\'ll see during your adventure. They will also provide you with information on how to interact with the local marine life to ensure you have a safe and fun experience.

With a maximum of 10 participants, the Mexican Whale Shark Adventure is an intimate experience which will leave you with memories lasting a lifetime.

Sightings of whale sharks are guaranteed. In the unlikely event that there are no whale shark sightings on your cruise, you are able to take the cruise again on the following day free of charge!

Just 8km (5 miles) long and 4km (2.5 miles) wide, it\'s known as the best value in the Caribbean, assuming that you prefer an easy-going pace, and prefer simplicity to pretense.

This island of white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, is complemented by a town filled with Caribbean-colored clapboard houses and rustic, open-air restaurants specializing in the bounty of the sea.

Isla Mujeres offers a relaxing and fun tour from Cancun. The day commences with a 45-minute cruise across the beautiful turquoise Caribbean waters to one of the islands beaches. On the island, you can snorkel, or simply lay back and work on a suntan!

A 40-minute drive south of Cancun lies a ranch and stables with over 100 horses suitable for all riders from beginners to experienced. A 2 hour ride takes you through the exotic jungle, coconut palms and the serene beaches.

Once on the beach, your group is divided in two, those who would like to swim with the horse and those who would like to gallop the horse along the beach (note that you can only do one or the other, not both).

Once back in the ranch, some Mexican snacks will be served, soft drinks included. Alcoholic beverages are available for sale. During the trip, a photographer will be taking pictures and these will be ready and on sale at the end of the journey. The ranch has a swimming pool for use and some farm animals are also on the premises.
