Tour overview
The swimming with whale sharks tour offers you a once-in-a-lifetime experience after which your vacations will never be the same. The world’s largest fish species is only seen in the warm Caribbean Sea from May through September.
Despite their size, whale sharks are gentle and tend to interact and play with divers. With a maximum of 10 people per group, Yucatan Holidays whale shark tour offers personalized attention to further enjoy these beautiful and gentle creatures.
The information on this fascinating animal is still limited. They are considered to be vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
