Whale Sharks? What is a Whale Shark? Whale sharks are one of the largest fish in the Ocean and migrate to Isla Holbox once per year. During the months of July and August, visitors can snorkel with these extremely docile and fascinating ocean creatures in the Gulf of Mexico. Oops, we forgot about the Manta Rays, Dolphins and Tropical Birds. This will be one of the coolest things you have ever done!

Watch for the 2008 Season June 1- Aug 31
The whale shark is the biggest fish on earth. It can grow up to 15m/50ft! In summer, plankton blooms on the north-eastern tip of the Yucatan peninsula where the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean merge. Near the islands of Holbox and Contoy, the plankton attracts an incomparable amount of this giant species, with over 40 spotted at one time!
While whale sharks feed, moving gently on the ocean’s surface, you can safely snorkel with them or watch them from the boat. Specially trained and experienced guides are on hand to brief you about applicable regulations and procedures in order to ensure these peaceful animals are not harmed.
