The Whalesharks are Officially
Here!
Watch for the 2010 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.
