Swimming with Whale Sharks in Mexico – Don’t Get Out of the Water!

April 1, 2015 by Kathryn 46 Comments

It’s so easy to fly off to an exotic country like Mexico and spend the entire trip lounging on the beach or sipping cocktails by the pool. While I’m certainly a fan of that relaxing atmosphere myself, there’s a lot to be said for getting away from the hotel or resort and taking part in some of the unique activities the country has to offer. And for a true once-in-a-lifetime experience, there’s simply nothing better than swimming with whale sharks.

Yup, that’s me with the largest fish in the world!

Thanks to Viator, a company that specializes in helping travellers book the best and most original tours and excursions when travelling, I had the chance to take part in a whale shark diving experience with a group of bloggers from around the world, and I couldn’t have been more excited. The idea of actually swimming beside the largest fish in the world out in the open ocean seemed completely magical to me. But I couldn’t help being a little nervous too, especially when our guide started explaining the precautions we needed to take.

Ready to Indulge in a Now Resorts & Spas #ResortEscape at the Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun

March 21, 2014 by Kathryn 48 Comments

This post brought to you by Now Resorts & Spas. All opinions are 100% mine.

Near the end of January, I shared information about the four amazing Now Resorts & Spas properties in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. I needed advice about which resort to visit and all of my amazing readers were happy to oblige. I am so happy that everyone shared their opinions because I won a trip for two to the property of my choice as well as one to give away to a reader!

After plenty of deliberation, I decided to book my vacation to the Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun in Mexico. There were a few features that stood out to me about this gorgeous resort and I am so excited to experience it for myself. I have to admit, the fact that I'll be travelling without my boys was a key factor in my decision! Enjoying yoga on the beach and the huge variety of water sports such as kayaking, windsurfing and riding the waves on Hobie cats sounded too appealing to pass up. And I have a passionate love of Tappenyaki dining, so I can't wait to enjoy a lively gourmet meal at the Lemongrass restaurant!
