The whale shark is the largest fish in the world. Comes to our waters near Cancun in the summer time, only from May to September. So if you want to enjoy this adventure, plan your vacation during this time of the year and get ready to have the most exciting experience of your life! Accompanied by an expert in the subject, our clients receive the information necessary to understand the behavior the Whale Shark, once you´re familiar with it, you can descend the boat with a guide for snorkeling and take a close up to the shark whale, which its measure is up to 18 meters, weighing about 15 tons, making it the world's largest fish. The experience is truly amazing, however there is no fear since this shark feeds exclusively on tiny organisms known as "plankton", so they are completely harmless to humans.
