Whale Sharks - Roatan

Whale sharks are the largest fish in the world. The largest confirmed
visual sighting has been of one over 40 feet long, weighing 21 tons, (+/- 47,000 pounds). The Bay Islands are one of nine places in the world that whale sharks can be encountered on a regular basis. There is no guarantee that you will see or be able to interact with these gentle giants but the reality of it is that you have a chance at the experience of a lifetime.

There are some hotels on Roatan that do excursions to see the Whale Sharks and there is the 'Whale Shark & Oceanic Institute' on the island of Utila. If you are feeling adventurous,and want to do something that very few if any of your friends have done, this maybe something to consider on your next trip to the island.
