The whale shark is the largest shark or fish in the world, reaching up to 20 m. (60 ft.). In coastal waters from La Paz Bay, juvenile whale sharks aggregate to feed, as many as 40 percent of the juvenile sharks return to feed year after year. The whale shark is a filter feeder; it feeds on macro-algae, plankton, krill, Christmas Island red crab larvae, and small nektonic life such as small squid or vertebrates. It also feeds on small fish and the clouds of eggs and sperm during mass spawning of fish shoals.
Imagine swimming with the world’s biggest fish: a whale shark. Then the next year repeating the magic experience with the same individual shark? This happens in the beautiful bay of La Paz! It is one of the unique spots around the world where this can be possible, and shows the importance of these areas. Every year pregnant females visit La Paz bay, they aggregate around Espiritu Santo Island and El Bajo, this happens only in very few places around the world…make this an experience of a lifetime!
