Basque Country, an extraordinary adventure.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Swimming with sharks in Euskadi is one of the most amazing experiences of the Basque coast. An activity that even a large number of Basques are unaware of. To the disbelief of many, we can confirm with total confidence that you can swim with sharks in the Basque Country. In fact, Isaias Cruz, a madman in love with the sea and every living being that inhabits it, encourages us to enjoy this experience in the middle of the Biscayan coast, a little more than half an hour of navigation from Bermeo. An experience that we have not hesitated to add to our <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/reservas\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">booking center<\/a>. The sharks we find in Euskadi are not like the ones we can see in places like Mexico or Australia, where they can reach more than 6 meters in length, but even so, they are sharks and they are imposing in the same way. Many of you will wonder if the activity of swimming with sharks in Euskadi is done inside a cage, nothing could be further from the truth. This activity is done without a cage, with no more protection than a wetsuit. An adventure difficult to forget.        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23534\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburones-en-euskadi-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"sharks in euskadi, swimming with sharks in Euskadi, sharks in Euskadi\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburones-en-euskadi-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburones-en-euskadi-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburones-en-euskadi-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburones-en-euskadi-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><div class=\"box info  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Information_about_swimming_with_sharks_in_the_Basque_Country\"><\/span><strong>Information about swimming with sharks in the Basque Country.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"checklist tie-list-shortcode\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Online reservations<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/reservas\/index.html?id_epigrafe=1243&amp;id_panel=371&amp;id_elemento=1243&amp;tipo_elemento=&amp;id_destino=4839&amp;id_operador=4839&amp;id_punto_venta=5682&amp;id_idioma=0&amp;cierre_app=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average price: <\/strong>180\u20ac.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season<\/strong>: July, August and September.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Bermeo, Urdaibai, Bizkaia, Euskadi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-map \"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d28315.681019156338!2d-2.7451278853863172!3d43.41924151430402!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0xd4e3e5bb184d3ab%3A0xd5ca75a07eacbc80!2s48370%20Bermeo%2C%20Vizcaya!5e1!3m2!1ses!2ses!4v1592641257097!5m2!1ses!2ses&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The fishing methods used halfway around the world have led to the near disappearance of many of these species.

Although it is true that the sharks we find off the coast of Euskadi, shy, not very aggressive and elusive, do not have the dimensions that we are used to seeing in Hollywood blockbusters, we must say that they are ideal to discover in first person these magnificent specimens that inhabit our seas. Now, which sharks are we going to see in Euskadi? Well, mainly 2 species: blue sharks and mako sharks.     <\/p>\n<div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n<p><div class=\"checklist tie-list-shortcode\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Blue shark<\/u>: The blue shark<em>(Prionace glauca<\/em>), also known as blue shark, is a species that performs large migrations. Its unique silhouette, elongated and bluish, is enough to identify this shark. This species is relatively easy to spot, as it has a large presence on the Basque coast. We must point out that the Bay of Biscay is one of the most important breeding grounds for this species, so most of the individuals we will see will be pups between 1 and 2 meters long. The blue shark feeds on fish, squid and plankton. It is usually shy, elusive and distrustful.     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23529\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburon-azul-en-urdaibai-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"blue shark in urdaibai, swimming with sharks in Euskadi\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburon-azul-en-urdaibai-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburon-azul-en-urdaibai-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tiburon-azul-en-urdaibai-nadar-con-tiburones-en-Euskadi-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Mako shark<\/u>: The mako shark<em>(Isurus oxyrhinchus<\/em>) also known as Mako, is a species with features that remind us of the great white shark.

We will position ourselves taking as reference a line of buoys located at a prudent distance from the line of the baits. Now we just have to enjoy these spectacular animals while they swim in front of us, and during the activity the different professional divers that accompany us will make sure that we are comfortable.

Great news. Attracted by this project, we wanted to know more about the concerns and objectives of this young man from Navarre. Isaias tells us that he seeks to raise awareness through this activity of the need to protect these endangered animals. A responsible experience with the environment, which seeks to bring sharks closer to the people so that they know the delicate situation in which they find themselves.
