Extending over 185 miles north to south, the Belize Barrier Reef system is the greatest stretch of coral in the Western Hemisphere and the second largest barrier reef in the world.

.Belize Whale Shark Expedition


Laru Beya Resort, Placencia Belize



In the month of March, April, May and June, Whale Sharks are observed at the Gladden Split by divers and snorkelers. This species, despite its enormous size, does not pose any significant danger to humans. It is a frequently cited example when educating the public about the popular misconceptions of all sharks as " man-eaters". They are actually quite gentle and can be playful with divers. Divers and snorkelers can swim with this giant fish without any risk apart from unintentionally being hit by the shark's large tail fin.
