Every year from June 1st to September 15th huge concentrations of these giant sharks arrive at the Mexican Caribbean ideal time to swim with them.

We recommend last two weeks of July and first two weeks of August when whale shark arrives in huge amounts close to 200 every day, out of this period the average is between 20 to 60.
We must remember that is a 100% nature tour, and the numbers mentioned above is an approximation based on past seasons.
How long is this tour?
Is a half day tour, however, this nature tour depends on weather conditions, and boat search for whale sharks would require more or less time.
Half day is an average but depending on day conditions could take more time, we recommend not to book other activities same day to prevent any inconvenience situations.
There are some restrictions, children under 5 years old and pregnant women are not allowed.
