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.

Everyone was wonderful!!!! The diving itself wasn't great, but the experience overall was super enjoyable and worth it!!!! Orcas blew my mind and made me forget about the diving!

Dani is clearly is passionate about the ocean and highly skilled at getting close to the wildlife.
Also Captain Rey did his every best find us the experiences we wanted and kept us informed every day about where we were and what the goal was.
