Isla Holbox is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations in the world for in-water encounters with whale sharks. Holbox Tours and Travel, one of the first operators in the area to run whale shark tours, offers a money-back guarantee on encounters during peak season (June to September). The captains and crews of the boats are local fishermen who know where the sharks like to feed. Snorkelers go in the water two-by-two with a guide and swim alongside the animals in a safe, controlled manner. Trips start at $110 per person; groups can also charter the entire boat (up to 8 people) for $850 a day.
