It is an unforgettable experience that begins with a boat trip that brings you closer to Holbox Island, a privileged area to see the whale shark population up close.

This is the largest fish that can reach up to 15-meter (50 feet) in length and its open frontal mouth reaches a dimension of up to a meter and a half (5 feet).

These sharks appear from May to September, when they come to feed on plankton in the warm waters of the Caribbean.

An expert guide searches for sharks and you're provided with snorkel gear to swim alongside these huge docile and gentle animals, which is always something to remember.
