THE MOST EXCITING TOUR IN CABO
This is a real Eco Tour, you really help sharks and marine conservation while diving with us!
THE CABO SHARK SNORKELING TOUR is our most popular tour and the best boat tour in Cabo San Lucas. This tour is open to Everyone, from beginners to professionals, snorkeling or free diving, NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED - NO SCUBA DIVING CERTIFICATION REQUIRED - DIVE SITES CLOSE TO THE MARINA, ONLY 25 MINUTES BOAT RIDE. On this trip you will snorkel and free dive with sharks out of the cage under the professional guidance and supervision of our trusted shark guides and marine biologists.
NOT ONLY SHARKS: we specifically target sharks, but often we can see and swim with giant mantas, dolphins, orcas, whales, sea turtles, marlin, sea lions and mahi mahi. Our objective is getting in the water safely with all marine life. Our awesome shark dive and snorkeling tour occurs just a few miles offshore, in the blue waters of the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Ocean, close to the Marina of Cabo San Lucas, safe and comfortable!
GEAR AND BRIEFING: Before leaving the dock we will provide snorkelling gear to all our guests, to make sure that everyone has the right equipment with the right size! Once on the spot, our certified shark guide will give a detailed briefing about safety rules and procedures, proper use of the snorkelling gear and will explain how to interact with our sharks in the best and safest way! Once in the water, we have all the time we want to swim with sharks, of course the duration of the experience depends on the sharks behaviour and on how long they want to stay around, and usually they stay for a very long time!
EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION: During the tour, you will learn interesting and important facts about shark biology and ecology that will help you to understand better how these wonderful creatures behave. Our marine biologists and shark behavioral experts will tell you everything you want to know about sharks, how we are deeply involved in shark conservation and how you can help us to protect them.
SHARK WATCHING TOUR OPTION: If you don't want to get in the water, a very good option is the SHARK WATCHING TOUR, where you can enjoy the thrill and excitement of seeing sharks up close and learning about them from the deck of our comfortable boat. Shark Watching Tour is essentially the same as the Shark Snorkeling tour, the only difference being our guests simply watch the sharks from the boat. To make our Shark Watching Tour more fun for our guests, we often bring the sharks right up to the surface next to the boat, this allows our shark viewers to see these animals up close and personal and take great pictures.
