Roddrigo here aka The "Whale Shark Daddy" Owner of Holbox & Cancun Whale Shark Tours. Heres the "REAL" Skinny from the Whale sharks Mouth. We began operating the WS Tours from Holbox in 2004. We've had great aggregations every year in our Plankton Rich water of the YUM BALAAM Nature Reserve. Several Years ago Politics got involved aand as if the Mujeres Tour guys did'nt have enough on their plate somehow (Probably with $$$ Payoffs) convinced someone in the Mex Govt to give permits to them @ the expense of the Dedicated Operators on sla Holbox who really dont have much else in the way of Tourism (no diving etc etc)
For the Past 2-3 years the IM boys have taken people out to SNORKEL with the WS. The Pasyt 2 years have seen a new anamoly. There is a SPLITTING of the Whale Sharks usually around Mid-July. In early June/July ALL of the WS are feeding on Plankton, krill etc near Holbox & the IM boats have to come coupla Hours just to keeep their guarantees intact.
Then Lo & behold theres been a SPAWN of a species of Tuna that creates a BUFFET of CAVIAR the WS cannot resist. This has occurred in the Deeper Darker Blue Waters north of ISLA CONTOY. Now the game changes. IM boats dont have to come to Holbopx, but Holbox boats if they want to see the "AQUA AZUL" Action need to go to Contoy.
Our SOLUTION is we now Operate Boats from BOTH Locations. CANCUN & HOLBOX. see Whale Shark Tours by Holbox Tours & Travel & Home Page
Trip Advisor rates us #1 & we Specialize in VIP Private Boats for Dive Groups, Prof Photographers , Families etc. 2011 Promises to be another Great year, But we still dont really now WHERE the WS will be until late May early June.
Spotter planes are usually not used for spotting but are chartered by people wanting to view these Magnificent animals from an AERIAL Perspective. he GPS is our Handy Guide! COME JOIN US this Year!
Isla Holbox is the OPPOSITE of Cancun, Isla Mujeres & Cozumel. NO CARS NO ASPHALT! Let us send you some sneak peek preview DVD's & join in the FUN!
