Is This Trip Right for You?
At Discover Corps, we want our travelers to be fully prepared and choose the trip that will offer the best experience while accommodating all physical abilities. Please read the points below carefully to determine if this trip is the right fit for you.
Accommodations: For two nights, you'll be camping on the protected island of Isla Espiritu Santo. You'll be staying in geodome tents. Please be mindful that windy weather conditions could inhibit our reaching the island by boat. If we anticipate poor weather leading up to the trip, the itinerary will be modified to accommodate.
Swimming with Whale Sharks: Fins are provided, but strong swimming skills are beneficial. The experience typically involves just a few minutes of jumping from the boat and swimming alongside a whale shark. While sightings are highly likely, they cannot be guaranteed, as wildlife encounters depend on environmental factors such as water temperature and ecological conditions.
Transportation: On day 2, there's a 60-minute boat ride to Island Espiritu Santo. Please bring sea sickness medicine, if you usually don't feel well on boat rides.
