Many people don't know this, but we are just around the corner from the Whale Shark swim season in Cancun, Mexico. The peak season for swimming with Whale Sharks in Cancun begins next month in June and optimally lasts until mid-September.

The phenomenon that takes places in the waters just off Cancun is do to a migration by the Whale Sharks that takes place every year at the same time. The ideal place to have a close encounter with a Whale Shark is off of Holbox Island, which is just a 40-50 minute boat ride from Cancun.

These days, many certified diving experts offer guided tours that include actual one-on-one instruction in open waters for swimming with Whale Sharks in Cancun. We know it may sound a little scary; but in reality, Whale Shark are completely docile sea creatures that bear no sharp teeth nor are they any harm to humans.

Whale Sharks swim quite slow and near to the surface of the water, which makes it possible to observe and swim alongside them in open waters. The tours are 100% safe to humans and Whale Sharks, and are some of the most amazing snorkeling excursions that any water sports lover could possibly experience.
