Emotional anguish and whale shark encounters

We spent around two and a half hours swimming with them, taking turns of 5 to 10 minutes per couple in the water. However, we all had more than our fill, leaving completely satiated with the experience. Around noon we were taken to a nice shallow reef, for some much more relaxing swimming and for some of the best, freshest and spiciest ceviche I've had, lemon juice-cooked right on the spot. I know there are many operators that offer this tour out of Cancun, Playa and Holbox. I decided to go with Kenneth Johnson's Ecotravelmexico for their supposed commitment towards responsible tourism and concern for ecological awareness an I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Quite the contrary.

So, if you can relate to my now almost healed sense of pelagic inadequacy and you live anywhere in the Americas, make no mistake. The most indubitable way for you to enjoy a memorable aquatic moment with a whale shark is in the area between Holbox and Punta Blanca, right on the tip of the Yucatan peninsula, early in the mornings of the summer months.
