Indagare Tours: Swimming with Whale Sharks

Decades ago fishermen in Belize started noticing high numbers of whale sharks in the water around Gladden Spit off the coast of southern Belize during the full moons every spring and early summer. The area has since been protected and designated the Gladden Spit Marine Preserve but a controlled number of divers and snorkelers are still allowed into the water during what’s become known as whale shark season. Indagare knows the best boats, guides and gear to get you in the water with whale sharks. Sightings of these giants, which can be up to 50 feet long and weigh 70,000 pounds but live on microscopic marine life, aren’t guaranteed but they are common. Indagare members can contact our bookings to team to arrange a day trip.
