Swimming with Whale Sharks in Private in the Sea of Cortez
It’s only natural to be a little nervous about swimming with these captivating animals, but safety is our top priority. Before your once-in-a-lifetime private whale shark tour in Cabo, one of our expert bilingual guides will brief you on what to expect when you’re gliding through the water with these gentle giants.
Swimming near and even alongside whale sharks is an awe-inspiring experience but also a safe one. You may feel a rush of adrenaline during your encounter when you see a whale shark open its huge mouth, but as large as their mouths can be, they actually eat tiny micro-organisms. Their throats are only as large as a quarter!
Let Your Private Whale Shark Tour Inspire You
You’ll learn a lot during your swim with these creatures, which should be noted are sharks, not whales. While they aren’t considered an endangered species, whale sharks are a vulnerable species according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Not a lot is known about their behaviors, migratory patterns, or their reproductive habits - in fact, whale sharks have never once been observed mating or giving birth. That lack of knowledge can hamper conservation efforts because when people don’t feel a connection to an animal, they’re not always motivated to contribute to protection efforts. Our sincere hope is that your private whale shark tour in Cabo will inspire you and your group to want to support conservation efforts now and in the future!
Swimming with Whale Sharks Respectfully
As noted above, swimming with whale sharks in Cabo is incredibly safe thanks to the gentle nature of these filter feeders. Human beings actually pose more of a threat to whale sharks than they do to us. For that reason, we request that our guests follow certain rules when they join the whale sharks in the water for the protection of all of the animals involved in the encounter. Being close to whale sharks is enough of a thrill, but touching them is discouraged. If you follow all of the instructions given to you by your guide, your private whale shark encounter will be a memorable experience for you and a pleasant one for the whale sharks, too.
