highlights

According to the experts, the best places to swim with whale sharks are located around the islands north of Cancún and the best season to do so is from early June to mid-September.

Whale sharks, whose scientific name is Rhincodon typus, are the largest fish that exist on the planet, and their imposing size is worthy of admiration.

These, despite their large size, feed on oceanic plankton and nekton (made up of microscopic organisms that live in the depths of the sea) and really enjoy interacting with human beings, so there is no reason to be afraid of some attack.
