Whale shark sighting season in Cancun 2017

Holbox Island in the Riviera Maya and Isla Mujeres near Cancun are two of the best places to live an experience full of adrenaline and amazement with the many great Whale Shark tours available for you and your family or your besties to enjoy.

Mexico is a privileged country, for the whale shark travels up to 13 thousand kilometers to visit the warm waters of the Mexican Caribbean. As far as we know, the amazing sea whale can reach up to 20 meters long and weigh up to 13 tons approximately; it is believed that it has inhabited the Earth for sixty million years now, so we could say you could be facing a prehistoric creature by swimming with whale sharks in Mexico.

Whale sharks love living in tropical and subtropical waters, they are completely inoffensive and feed only on plankton by filtering it through its mouth, therefore we can assure you they are safe to be around at a cautious distance. They are great friends to swim with and enjoy the beautiful sea and that’s why we invite you to live this incredible experience.

You will be able to swim with whale sharks in Holbox or Contoy island for the sighting season of these fish has already begun and is now open in Holbox Island for those adventurers who like living new experiences. Watch whale sharks in action while enjoying the Caribbean view.

You may also visit Contoy, Isla Mujeres for a great encounter with these giant friends, since every year there is a Summer Festival, from May to June, in which you will also enjoy amazing parades, Caribbean dances, water sports, sand sculptures, lectures about marine life and of course the opportunity to observe these incredible animal closely.

Come have a great swimming with whale sharks in Isla Mujeres and Holbox Island from May to September and experience what we could call an underwater dance with this peaceful sea giant.
