Isla Mujeres Trip Overview
Every year, from the months of June until September, you can view something truly magical happening off the coast of Isla Mujeres. Literally, hundreds of Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) gather to feed in what local fishermen call the “Afuera” (Outside, or in this case, offshore), so named for the deeper waters off the tip of the Yucatan.
There are a dozen locations around the world that attract whale sharks in moderate numbers such as Western Australia, Indonesia, and Belize but off the coast of Quintana Roo, more numbers are attracted than anywhere else in the world with an estimate of around 800 in a season.
