Whale sharks are spotted on Utila year round, they are deep divers up to thousands of feet and come to the surface to feed. Utila's geological make up is perfect for this. The Northside borders the Cayman trench dropping into the abyss and the fringing reef, inland lagoons and mangrove are host to many different types of snapper and grouper that spawn dureing the FULL MOON and LAST QUARTER MOON.

Tis the season on the island. Although whale sharks are present year round in our waters off Utila, the frequency of sightings are higher during the calmer months. Our guests this past week (Las Vegas, Boston, Florida, Texas, Canada) were treated to epic diving, compliments of the whale sharks. They swam with our gentle giants on two separate days, sizes varying from 15 ft. to 35 ft in length. We're hoping to have their videos up on our website very soon. Happy Sunday.
