Swim And Snorkel With Whale Sharks
If you are searching for a place to see whale sharks in Cancun, this is the spot for you. Cancun’s warm waters and surplus amounts of plankton and small nekton (whale shark food) make it the ideal whale shark habitat from June to September each year.
Travelers from across the globe come to this region of the world to see whale sharks in their natural habitat. But, here on our Whale Shark Snorkeling Experience, you’ll get to do so much more than simply see these amazing creatures.
