Whale Shark season has begun in Belize: The best time to visit and see them up close

Each year in spring, a large number of Whale Sharks migrate to Gladden Spit Marine Reserve, off the coast of Placenia Peninsula in Belize. This area is a unique breeding area for over 20 fish species, which attracts the Whale Sharks. The best area to witness these gentle giants is in Gladden Spit Marine Reserve, off the coast of Placenia Peninsula. Although you can find Whale Sharks all over the world, Gladdan Spit in Belize is the only place where you can dive and encounter huge schools of spawning fish at the same time.
