THE ENORMOUS YET HARMLESS BIGGEST FISH IN THE WORLD!

Imagen
Starting on May 15 to September whale shark season will officially begin just off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Each year the whale shark, which is the largest and peaceful of the fish species, begin to arrive from their annual migration to the warm waters of the Mexican-Caribbean Sea near Cancun/Riviera Maya. The gentle fish can grow around 40 feet in length (12 meters) long. That’s about the size of a school bus, weigh 11 tons, and pose no-threat to humans! As the sensational experience of swimming with whale sharks has become more popular over the past few years, official authorities have taken efforts to limit and reinforce many of the rules and regulations to protect these animals that are now on the threatened species list. For this reason, it is important to work only with a highly knowledgeable and experienced tour company who operates their tours with the utmost priority to respect these animals at International Incentive Travel we can help you with that.

As every year Cancun & Riviera Maya are part of this amazing event, thousands of Sea Turtles arrive to our coasts to nest. There are 8 species of sea turtles found across the globe, 7 out of which come to the beaches around Mexico 4 of them arrives to Cancun & Riviera Maya. International Incentive Travel and its alliances actively support and promote various initiatives for the protection of the turtles. The police of the local areas stand guard day and night to protect them, not just in Cancun & Riviera Maya, but all across the beaches where eggs are laid.  Human activity and climate change has an impact on turtle nesting sites. It's estimated that only 1 in 1,000 hatchlings will survive to adulthood. If you are visiting Cancun or Riviera Maya during this season ask your concierge to volunteer for the turtle release activities at your Hotel or ask us for activity options.
