Whale Shark Migration


  • Thatch Caye Resort Thatch Caye Dangriga Belize (map)

The whale shark season in Belize normally begins 2 days before the Full Moon up until 10 days after in the months of  March, April, May, and June.  However, the best sightings normally begins a few days after the full moon.

Traditionally April and May have been the better months for Whale Shark shark sightings. Although your chances of seeing a whale shark are very good then, we do sometimes miss, therefore we recommend booking multiple days to ensure that you get the best encounter.
