A portion of our proceeds goes to the support
of scientific studies.
:: About Whale Sharks (1 June until 15 September)
You are about to visit a unique part of the world!
Every year these majestical animals start their Journey in May to the warm and rich waters of the GULF OF MEXICO.
Despite their name, the whale sharks are peaceful animals feeding only on plankton.
They are accompanied by dolphins and gigantic manta rays. There are times when you will see dozens of these animals together with "jumping" manta rays.
Many of our guests observe that the Whale Sharks maintains eye contact and that they feel a peaceful interaction with these animals. (watch our Video)
There is a feeling of serenity once you are floating next to these animals.
The "body language" of these magnificent creatures explains it all:
- #When you're too close, he will turn the opposite direction.
- #When he has had enough, he will blink one eye and go under, or swim faster. :-)
