Isla Holbox · Quintana Roo · Isla Holbox
Seasonal boat trip out of Isla Holbox to swim with juvenile whale sharks feeding at the surface. Marine biologist on board explains what you're seeing. Weather-dependent — we'll reschedule or refund if the sea says no.
Programme de la journée
Meet at the ferry pier on the mainland. Coffee and quick briefing.
30-minute crossing to Isla Holbox. Sunrise over the mangroves if you're lucky.
Small panga north to the feeding grounds. Marine biologist explains what to look for.
Two swimmers at a time enter the water alongside a feeding whale shark. Repeat as long as safe.
A different animal if we're lucky. Manta rays and dolphins are common bycatch.

Back to the village pier. Ferry back to Chiquilá whenever you like.
