Swim with the Gentle Giants of the Sea

From May to mid-September, the crystal-clear waters around Holbox and Isla Mujeres become the stage for one of nature’s most magical encounters: the Whale Shark Season. ✨🐋

Every year, these gentle giants — the largest fish in the world — migrate to the Mexican Caribbean to feed on plankton. Between June and August, the chances of seeing them are at their peak.

Imagine snorkeling alongside creatures that can grow up to 12 meters long, peacefully gliding through the water. It’s a humbling, breathtaking experience — often joined by manta rays, sea turtles, and even dolphins!

Whether you’re an ocean lover, adventurer, or bucket-list chaser, this is your chance to live an unforgettable moment in one of the world’s most unique marine sanctuaries.

Ready to dive in?
Let us take care of every detail — from accommodations and private transfers to your whale shark tour with trusted, certified and eco-friendly local operators for a safe and respectful encounter. 🤿
