During the whale shark Season (May-September), the whale sharks feed themselves with plankton in the water surroundings of Isla Mujeres. You have the opportunity to snorkel with these gentle giants. The past ten years, Cancun became the best place to spot Whale Sharks. In a one hour boat ride from Cancun you are able to spot big groups of Whale Sharks. Snorkel with this biggest fish in the world is a once in a lifetime experience.
