Baja Ocean Safari and Whale Watching
Looking for Something unique?
Join us for exploration and adventure on our open ocean safari. This is the best way to enjoy the ocean.
Cabo San Lucas boasts a unique location directly at the meeting point of the Sea Of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean. The two deep and nutrient-rich bodies of water collide into a year-round oasis and destination for pelagic wildlife. This incredible location also yields some of the most diverse ocean wildlife in the world. More than 33% of the world’s marine mammal species can be found in our waters. We have regular sightings of Humpback Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins, Sea Lions, Orcas and more. There’s even sea turtles and epic aggregations of mobula rays.
Our team of ocean experts will guide your expedition sharing interesting information along the way. Putting all of our findings in the context of conservation and the bigger picture. This is not just an observational experience, we also have opportunities to interact and swim with some of this incredible ocean wildlife creating unforgettable experiences. If you are an ocean lover, freediver, snorkeler, diver, photographer, adventurer this is something you don’t want to miss.
We strive to share our passion for the ocean and its wildlife in the most respectable manner. Here’s what we have to offer.
Ocean Safari
The adventure begins the moment you set foot onboard. We are geared towards exploration and learning more about the ocean environment so we start exploring our local area where we can see sea lions, mobulas, and a variety of interesting sea birds. After a stop at the iconic arch, we begin to scan the horizon looking for any potential ocean life. The seafloor drops quickly from the coast so we have opportunities to see and interact with shallow water/reef species as well as pelagic animals. During the tour you will also snorkel in a pristine coral reef surrounded by hundreds of colorful tropical fishes and amazing coral formations.Nature is unpredictable and we cannot guarantee any specific interactions, however, our high level of experience and the incredible abundance of marine life give us a very high chance to spot and swim with different species on the same tour. For example, we see dolphins pretty much on every tour as well as humpback whales during the whale season.
See the animals from the surface and swim with them
Our goal is to provide the best up close and personal underwater encounters with the most beautiful and iconic species of Baja California Sur.
We always try to jump in the water to interact with any marine creature we encounter during the experience. During this tour you have a chance to see and swim with humpback whales, blue whales, (from December until April), orcas, dolphins, sea turtles and other incredible sea creatures in the pristine water of the Pacific Ocean and Sea of cortez. Our captain and guides have years of experience in safe interactions with big marine mammals and pelagic animals in the open ocean.
Light snacks and water will be provided and you are welcome to bring anything extra onboard to enjoy during the safari.
