Combo: Whales, Mobulas, Orcas + Ultimate Whale Sharks

This trip offers a spectacular combo of orcas and whale sharks! Who doesn't want to swim with whale sharks, especially when there are lots of them in a deserted bay and national park deep into the reaches of the sea of cortez. Up to 220 friendly and curious whale sharks visit every season. But wait there's more. The seasons only overlap once a year for 2 of these iconic animals (orcas are hoped for and searched for but not guaranteed) PLUS mega pods of dolphin, whales and some of the best diving in the sea of cortez.

I have never seen a more hardworking team (Slavek, Dorjee, Ima, Mario, Jesus, Angel, Pedro, Edgar) that is dedicated to their job and making sure that each of their client has the best experience. This trip would not amount to the experience that it did if it weren't for each and every one of them adding a special element. I could not recommend you enough to my network and I cannot wait to come back!

Iván has given me the best support before and during the trip I could have imagined. I really appreciate everything he has done to help me with the lost luggage since I've flagged it while still in transit. He has gone above and beyond to make me have a good trip and it wouldn't have been this great without him

Everyone in general is so kind, knowledgeable and fun. Special remarks to Edgar for all the effort to sort my lost luggage situation and make my trip as comfortable as possible, and to Mario for all the tips to help me become a better diver.
The crew is what made me come back for a second time, and was definitely the highlight of my trip - orcas aside

Yes. Everyone. Enrique is an excellent cook. His chicken is out o9f this world. Angel makes some really good cocktails, especially his mescalitas. Edgar is kind and confident, great captain. Pedro also. I appreciated him finding medical supplies when I got scraped up. All of the dive masters have great and unique personalities, Ima, Dorje, Slavik, Mario.

Staff standout

The entire crew was like family. Great sense of humor and was attentive to all aboard.Maria Fernanda and Enrique were tireless working all the time to make us feel special. This being my 13th live a board I can say that the captain was at the top of the list as the most friendly and his communication skills were excellent. The dive masters were A+ taking us to places and putting us in the best position for those who do underwater photography.

Your Captian is the best
I loved that he came to each table after dinner to tell us what to expect the next day,
He also drove the skiffs and was working all day. Thank you for being a hands on Capitan.
