During the summer months the annual migrations of whale sharks sets in again, usually from the beginning of June until the end of August. It is a world class experience, to be swimming that close with the largest fish in the world. The best place to have this incredible experience is by departing from Holbox Island, which is a small island in the Gulf of Mexico, but also part of a huge nature preserve. During the summer months there are not only Whale Sharks, but also Mantas, Turtles, Dolphins, Flamingos, Pelicans ...... its pure nature at its best.
The excursions actually start from the Riviera Maya with pick up from any hotel location early in the morning. If you leave too late the ocean will not be flat, and the animals tend to dive below the surface. That is why it is important to select your tour operator. There are some operators working from Cancun (some even without license), and I feel sorry with the people who are going to be disappointed.
The whale shark safari offers a guarantee - yes thats right: the client will swim with a whale shark (mostly with many!) or money back (or the customer can reschedule). Now I call that a fair deal. The company that provides that service is Pro Dive Mexico - a National Geographic PADI Center located at the Riviera Maya.
You can take a look at pictures and videos at the site www.whalesharksafari.com - its an incredible experience for divers and non-divers alike. Any age, from 4-5 years on up, swimmers or non-swimmers alike, just fantastic.
