Overview

Can you imagine swimming with the biggest fish in the WORLD, the whale shark.
Swim alongside these docile animals on this adventure on Holbox Island.
We will go into the sea for an hour to try to locate this harmless friend and be able to swim with him (snorkel).
Along the way it is very likely to see dolphins and turtles as well as the imposing giant manta ray.
Later we will go to another natural reserve called Cabo Catoche, which is located at the end of our beautiful island where the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea divide to be able to do a second snorkel on a reef.
Where with a bit of luck we can appreciate the manta rays, turtles, cat shark, sea horses, starfish, fish of many colors among other marine species.
