SWIM WITH WHALE SHARKS — THE BIGGEST FISH IN THE OCEAN —IN MEXICO

Each year, the whale sharks come to the Yum Balam ecological reserve near Holbox Island and Isla Mujeres to feed and mate in the months of May through October. Holbox Travel offers you a unique and unforgettable chance to coexist and swim with these magnificent creatures, our friends the whale sharks in Holbox!

Whale sharks are very docile creatures, and when approached by snorkelers or divers, they hardly notice the visit. Our boats leave the beach every morning from June to the end of September and are back after a little over five hours. During our Holbox whale shark tours, you see dolphins, manta rays, sea turtles, and an assorted variety of fish and bird species that live in the surroundings of Holbox Island and Isla Mujeres, Mexico.

It is important that you know that to conduct the Holbox whale shark tours, Holbox Travel uses its own boats, equipment, and thoroughly trained guides. We guarantee the best service in Holbox Island at the best price. Many years of experience and the many people who have enjoyed our Holbox whale shark tours speak for themselves. Rest assured that you’re about to have an unforgettable time with Holbox Travel.
