Adopt a whale shark: meet Isla from Isla Mujeres & Holbox
Remember that turquoise water off Isla Mujeres? Isla glides through it every summer: the biggest fish in the sea, polka-dotted and gentle. Adopt her and keep a little of Cancún with you all year.
Every summer, whale sharks gather off Isla Mujeres and Holbox to feed in plankton-rich water. Isla is our whale shark story, a spotted giant who makes the Caribbean feel close again, even on a gray Tuesday in February.
Whale shark season: June–September · Shown 24 hours late to keep poachers and traffickers away.
$19.99 a year for one animal, paid once with no auto-renewal. Every extra animal costs less.
