Highlights / General details

Explore the beautiful Caribbean Sea for a once in a lifetime chance to get up close and personal with the exotic, enormous whale shark. Despite being the largest “fish” in the world, this gentle giant is completely harmless, inviting you to swim alongside to pet its massive body. According to scientists working in the area, Holbox and Contoy have the highest concentration of whale sharks in the world. This trip was designed by local fishermen who have undergone professional biological training to operate this unique adventure. Learn all about these graceful giants and feel free to ask any questions you might have as you experience their presence first hand. Travel along the Yucatan coast near Contoy Island, one of the most beautiful regions in the Peninsula. Snorkel the reef as you admire the many colorful aquatic species who call the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea home. Your guide will help point out all the little things so you don’t miss a thing. Many species of land, air and marine animals call the area surrounding the Contoy Island Nature Reserve home such as favorites including playful dolphins, mysterious manta rays and brilliant pink flamingos.
