    • Diving with sharks in the Cantabrian Sea

      MAKO PAKO offers you a unique experience: swimming with sharks, accompanied by guides specializing in the behavior of these animals and experts in marine biology.

      No diving experience is required. We depart from the port of Zumaia every morning and afternoon during the summer, weather and sea conditions permitting. The boat has ample space for all your snorkeling and photography equipment. During the excursion, there is a chance to spot other marine life, such as dolphins and sunfish, among many others. We may also observe various species of seabirds. Sea conditions and marine life vary throughout the year, so we may enjoy a variety of encounters, including sharks.

      In the ocean, anything is possible!

    What a wonderful experience! Isaias and Xabi are two great professionals; you can tell they're very passionate about this project. We got to swim with several blue sharks—it was amazing!

    A wonderful experience! I was able to observe the blue shark in its natural habitat—a truly unforgettable experience. The team was very professional, taking care of every detail to ensure the sighting was a success. I would repeat it without hesitation.

    It was a unique experience, one of the most special I've ever had. Sharing space with these wonderful creatures was breathtaking. I'm still processing it and can't stop reliving every moment. I'm so fortunate that opportunities like the one Mako Pako created exist, allowing us to connect with nature in such a special, respectful, and safe way. Thank you so much, Isaías, for this opportunity. Below is the review from my son—a shark enthusiast—who took the trip with me but doesn't have an account: It was undoubtedly my best birthday present. From the very first moment, we were exceptionally well taken care of by Isaías, who, after we sailed 8 miles offshore, professionally explained the rules we had to follow and did everything he could to encourage the sharks to appear. And yes, after a wait during which we enjoyed the birds, the sea, and the calm, three beautiful blue sharks (Prionace glauca) arrived. Words simply can't describe the experience we had down there. A marvel. Unique. I finally fulfilled my dream: swimming with sharks, and what's more... in Spain!!! I would do it again without hesitation. I'm so lucky this exists. Thank you so much, Isaiah!!!!
