PLEASE read the following information carefully, it is very important: In case of bad weather the tour will need to be canceled, we know this around 1-2 days in advance. Take this into consideration when planning your schedule here. The whale shark area is restricted to only 14 boats at the time, thus we get turns assigned every day. On average, we get the turn we requested 95% of the time, but some times we get a later turn on the day. This may change the meeting time. Please make sure either the contact email or phone you provided us is reachable during your stay in La Paz in case we need to contact you before the tour for a change of schedule. Also, inherently to all water tours, there may be small jellyfish around (not always). Whale sharks are in their natural habitat, we can not predict 100% the conditions how we will see them: visibility, how many, or for how long. The footage of your tour will be sent in 2-3 days, please contact us if you don't get it in that time.
