Hola!
It's almost July again - that
means it's almost Whale Shark season in Isla Holbox! For those
of you who aren't familiar with this incredible event, this is the
time of year when the world's largest population of Whale Sharks
moves into the Yum Balam Preserve off the shores of
Isla Holbox.
Now there is a tour that takes you
there from Cancun, and allows you to see, and even snorkel with the
world's largest fish. |

ISLA HOLBOX WHALE SHARK ADVENTURE
|
Whale sharks can be as large
as 46 feet and weigh up to 15 tons. In August, you can slide
into the 79-degree water and peer into an approaching
10-foot-wide mouth. This is no scene from "Jaws" or "Open
Water." While they may have thousands of very tiny teeth,
these sharks are filter feeders that sieve tiny food through
their large gills and may use their teeth to crunch a crab.
|
 |
| You can get so
close that you look directly into an unmoving eye before the
shark veers off. As gentle as the creatures appear, and
it looks like they are barely moving, their strong bodies
sweep through the water faster than an Olympian. The body
sways side to side while the tail weaves in choreographed
unison. The current from the sweeping tail can push a swimmer
forcefully through the water. |

Can you imagine? |

Unlike whales,
these sharks make no sound. And they reveal little. It is
thought that they can live to be more than 100, but it is hard
to tell age by size. Above, the surface boils as bait
fish jump. As many as 60 whale sharks move slowly, mouths
agape, in these plankton-rich waters. Some feed in circles,
giving snorkelers a second or third encounter. The excited
whoops and hollers across the water from passengers on other
boats add to the frenzy.
|
Scuba Divers can go their whole
lives and never see one of these rare sharks. Now you can see them
up close like nowhere else in the world. This tour has been
featured on CNN, and many travel magazines.
This tour is only offered
during the months of July and August, so if you're lucky enough
to be in Cancun during these months, you are one of the few that
will ever have a chance to experience this awesome event.
Along with seeing the sharks, you also see flamingos and other rare
aquatic life.
