IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHALE SHARK TOUR
1.-No whale shark tour can guarantee 100% to see the sharks, it all depends on the weather conditions that exist in the area both swell and rain that may occur on the day of the activity.
2.-As tour operators we do our best to find them by carrying enough fuel for the search and dedicating all the time necessary to find them.
3.-Every season is different, there are years when there are more whales than others.
4.- The chances of finding the whales are much higher than not finding them.
5.- The historical statistics of our tours show that we have found whales in more than 98% of the trips we have taken.
There are no refunds in case of not finding the whales.
6.- Each trip is different, there are days when there are more whales and there are days when there are less whales.
7.- The whales are in continuous movement, our captains mark the positions in gps in their searches, there are days that it takes more distance to find them and there are days that they are closer.
In recent years the whales have concentrated in the area east of Isla Contoy. The tours that leave from Cancun area take a little less time to reach the area than the tours that leave from Holbox, however it may vary according to how the whales are moving.
9.- When there is a bad weather like a tropical storm in the area it can affect the search in the days after the storm.
10.- In case the harbor master closes the port due to bad conditions and it is not possible to go out for the activity, the activity may be rescheduled to the next possible day, in case the client can not reschedule the date, the deposit paid will be refunded.
