Whale Shark Snorkel, Hotel Pickup
Whale shark snorkeling day trip from Playa del Carmen, roughly seven hours on the water with pickup included.
Eating and island time, with open water in between. This group gathers the market food walk with seven tastings, a gourmet tequila and mezcal evening, two whale shark swims, and the Holbox day trip, so you can weigh flavors against a boat day.
Written for eaters and slow travelers. The food walk and the tequila tasting stay in Playa del Carmen, the whale shark days suit confident swimmers, and Holbox suits anyone who would rather have a quiet island than another ruin.
5 tours, from $79 per person.

Whale shark trips only run during the feeding season, so check the live listing for open months before planning around one. Holbox and the in-town tastings run all year.
The food walk and the tequila experience use central Playa del Carmen meeting points. Whale shark and Holbox trips pick up from the hotel zone and Playacar, and both are long days, so pack accordingly.
