Day 1:
La Paz- Meeting, briefing, and accommodation
We will pick you up at the selected airport and take you to your hotel in La Paz. In the afternoon/evening, we will go over information about the interactions that await you in the following days. The expedition will begin the following morning.
• Accommodation: hotel, La Paz

​

Day 2
La Paz - Sea lion colony snorkeling
On this day, we will spend time on a boat with stunning scenery along the coast of Baja California. We will swim in a large colony of sea lions and play with their curious pups. During this season, whale sharks, the largest plankton-eating fish in the world, come here, and if we're lucky, we'll also snorkel with them. We will enjoy lunch on a white sandy beach in a beautiful blue lagoon, and on the way back to the port, we will observe rare birds, dolphins, and other marine life in this area full of sea creatures.
• Accommodation: hotel, La Paz

 

Day 3
Cabo San Lucas - Sharks
In the morning, we'll depart from the port, find the best spot to meet the sharks, and start luring them toward our boat. Sometimes, it may take 20 minutes before the sharks arrive, while other times we may need to wait longer. While waiting, we may see whales and large fish such as wahoo. Once the sharks arrive, we'll jump into the water. Throughout your time in the water, two professional guides specializing in shark behavior will be with you. The most likely species we'll encounter are the mako shark and the blue shark. The mako shark is the fastest shark on our planet and can be recognized by its smooth torpedo-shaped body and very strong muscles attached to its massive tail. Blue sharks are interesting open-ocean predators with a beautiful dark blue back and bright blue sides. It's not uncommon for both of these sharks to approach the boat at the same time, and you'll be able to observe their fascinating behavior and dynamics between them.
• Accommodation: hotel, Cabo San Lucas

Day 4
Cabo San Lucas - Sharks
Another day dedicated to interacting with sharks. Every day is different, but our main goal remains the same. Swimming with mako sharks, blue sharks, and with a bit of luck, even hammerhead sharks. Throughout the day, we'll take every opportunity to interact with animals in the open ocean, and if we come across killer whales or other large animals, we'll stop and try to swim with them too.
• Accommodation: hotel, La Paz

 

Day 5
La Paz - Balandra
After intense experiences in the past few days, today we'll visit the Balandra Bay, which houses one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico. The Balandra Bay area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list and its shallow turquoise crystal-clear water is surrounded by dusty pink mountains, offering a beautiful view of the Baja California coast. We'll explore this beautiful rugged beach on kayaks.
• Accommodation: hotel, La Paz

​

Day 6
Cabo Pulmo - Whales

This day we will drive to the Cabo Pulmo Nature Reserve. Cabo Pulmo is a small coastal town on the east coast of Baja California and is one of the most beautiful examples of the successful transformation of a rustic fishing village into a sustainable tourism destination. Cabo Pulmo is a so-called Hope spot - a place where animals can breed and stay without danger. Since 1995, when it began to be protected, the number of living organisms has increased by a staggering 420%. In season we can look forward to encounter blue whales, humpback whales, dolphins, and huge tornadoes of fish, some of which have been famously photographed here. Cabo Pulmo is proof that ocean conservation makes sense, and you can look forward to seeing what the ocean can look like when treated with respect - stunning and full of life.

• Accommodation: hotel, La Paz

Day 7
La Paz - Mobula Rays and Orcas
At this time of year, huge schools of Mobula rays gather near the shores of Baja California, numbering thousands of individuals. We'll spend both days going to a secret location, where we'll hop on a boat and spend the day searching for them, watching their acrobatic jumps out of the water, and looking for the best opportunities to swim with them. Hundreds of rays leaping out of the water and slapping against the surface of the ocean are one of the most amazing natural spectacles on our planet. On these exploration trips, we'll also be searching for killer whales that live and hunt in these waters. Our chances of seeing them are higher in this season as they hunt Mobula rays here. The waters of the Gulf of California are full of life, and we'll look for every opportunity to swim with the amazing wild animals we'll have the chance to encounter.
