The Whale Sharks

Things to Do

From May to November, the bay is the home to the magnificent whale shark, the largest of all fishes. These gentle giants can reach 30 feet in length, but are not dangerous to humans since they eat tiny life forms such as krill, and have a baleen, not teeth. They seem to like swimmers and kayakers, and you can interact with them freely. There are few places left that permit swimming with the whale sharks, but Bahia de los Angeles is one of them. Take advantage of the opportunity while you can. The whale sharks are easily reached, and the water in the bay is usually calm and flat, so even less experienced swimmers can participate. It is a chance of a lifetime, and this is the best place on earth to do it.
