Exploring the breathtaking world of whale sharks is an exhilarating experience, and both Cancun/Isla Mujeres and Holbox offer incredible opportunities to witness these majestic creatures. However, when considering the best location for encountering whale sharks, the Cancun/Isla Mujeres area stands out for several reasons, particularly due to its Caribbean waters, which offer a distinct advantage over the Gulf of Mexico waters in Holbox Island
