Isla Holbox - Whale Shark Island
Uploaded on Nov 10, 2010
The waters around Isla Holbox off Mexicos Yucatán Peninsula teem with plankton, a feast for giant whale sharks—10-meter giants that gather by the hundreds from June through September. These super-sized, but toothless filter feeders are the core of a local tourism industry, but over-development could threaten this delicate balance. Dr. Sylvia Earle narrates. Kip Evans - Producer and Director of Photography. 2010 Blue Ocean Film Festival non-broadcast award winning Film.

An animal-loving secluded island called Holbox, MX
Holbox is a small town within a Nature Reserve called Yum Balam and the home of colorful house walls turned into magical pieces of art, 7 to 12 meter whale sharks, streets covered in the softest white sand, clear blue waters, an animal shelter called Refugio Holbox, and, last but not least, Posada Mawimbi…the beautiful 11-bedroom boutique hotel I had the pleasure of staying at. From the minute I arrived in Holbox, was welcomed by a dozen yellow golf carts with signs that read “Taxi” and realized I was surrounded by local people instead of tourists, I knew this trip was off to an wonderful start. 5 minutes down a sandy road was Posada Mawimbi, a beach front paradise carefully designed using products and techniques of the ancient Mayan culture. Absolutely stunning! Raw details in every corner, vegetarian and vegan food options, and the most delicious blueberry daiquiris. Read more on the blog: waterthruskin.com

Holbox Island is a place almost at the end of the world. The ideal combination of relaxation, great weather and fabulous views. This small, intimate island (43 km long and 1.5 km wide) is separated from the mainland by the lagoon. which is home to various species of birds, including pelicans and flamingos. There are over 150 species! The island is practically no cars, roads are sandy, and the main means of transportation are golf carts, bicycles, scooters and mopeds. It is inhabited by only about 2000 inhabitants. Here we will feel like we moved in real time to the Caribbean region. Holbox is the perfect alternative to the crowded coast of Mexico and Cancun. I fell in love with this paradise!

The Whale Sharks of Isla Holbox
From June through August, Isla Holbox (off the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula) is one of the most predictable gathering places for Whale Sharks in the Caribbean. On almost any given day during this period, island ecotourist guides will take you out on a fast boat to find the Whale Shark pods as they feed on an upswell of plankton caused by the confluence of the Palancar Strait with the Gulf Stream of the Caribbean. When you find the pod, the guides will take you out by two's to snorkel with these magnificent creatures. For more information on this phenomenon and how to go about seeing it, visit Whale Shark Daddy, an expat American, at: whalesharkdaddy@gmail.com. He guarantees that you'll swim with a Whale Shark or your money back! It's an extraordinary experience.
