Whale shark season is here again! In Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula we are always happy to welcome this amazing marine animal, actually the biggest fish on Earth! The whale shark is totally harmless, as its main course consists in plankton and small fish, and it moves slow and gently -despite its enormous size of about 20 meters-.
Bekare Transfers offers you transportation from any point in Cancun, Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya and take you for a ride up to the coast in the peninsula where you can take the boat or ferry to get to Holbox, our recommended destination to experience magical moments at sea with this amazing creatures.
Once there, you can pick one of the many Whale Shark tours available. Some of them include beverages, lunch and your snorkeling equipment. Just make sure you are in hands of professionals, as some times illegal boats may navigate and accidentally hurt one of them with the boat propeller.
This part of Earth in the Mexican Caribbean, is truly a privileged piece of ocean, as whale shark groups travel thousands of kilometers just to be fed in its warm waters. Each year, about 800 individuals gather here and grant us with such a beautiful spectacle!
Come to Mexico and let us take you to have a great swimming with whale sharks in Holbox Island from May to September, which are the high season months!
