Route Description - Ultimate Combo - Orcas and Whale Sharks 11 days / 10 nights

The Sea of Cortez is a stunning blend of ocean and desert, teeming with life. For nearly 50 years, the team has explored this vibrant ecosystem, where 80–220 whale sharks gather annually in Bahia de Los Angeles from May to early November. While whale sharks are a highlight, guests may also encounter sea lions, giant finback whales (second only to blue whales), and, with luck, orcas—especially in July and August, when 20 orca sighting days were recorded in August 2023. Every trip is different, and nature always keeps things exciting.

Plan A – Sea of Cortez Expedition

Day 1 – Welcome Aboard
Guests board in La Paz and set sail with a sunset dinner.

Early Expedition
Explore the southern Sea of Cortez, scanning for orcas and other large marine life.

Mid to Late Expedition Highlights
•Las Animas: Prime spot for hammerhead sharks, sea lions, and top-tier diving.
•Loreto National Park: Dive a shipwreck and enjoy some of the region’s most scenic underwater sites.
•Isla San Pedro Martir (1–2 days): A remote gem with nutrient-rich currents supporting abundant marine life.
•Bahia de Los Angeles: Spend a full day with the seasonal whale shark aggregation.
•Southbound Sea Day: With spotter plane support, watch for sperm whales, pilot whales, finbacks, and orcas at secret hotspots.

Final Day
Disembark in La Paz at 8:30 am. Complimentary transfers to SJD or SeeCreatures Cabo.

Plan B – Sea of Cortez Adventure

Day 1 – Boarding Day
Guests board in La Paz and depart with a sunset dinner.

Main Expedition Highlights
•Las Animas: Best chance for hammerhead sharks, plus sea lions and excellent diving.
•Loreto National Park: Scenic dives and a shipwreck in one of the most beautiful areas of the Sea of Cortez.
•Isla San Pedro Martir (1–2 days): Remote and rich in marine life thanks to deep upwellings—some of the best diving in the region.
•Bahia de Los Angeles: Full day with the seasonal whale shark aggregation.
•Southbound Sea Day: With spotter plane support, watch for sperm whales, pilot whales, finbacks, and orcas at secret locations.

Later in the Trip: Focus on orcas and big animal sightings in the southern Sea of Cortez.

Final Day
Disembark in La Paz at 8:30 am. Complimentary transfers to SJD or SeeCreatures Cabo.

Route Description - Mobula and Orca Adventures

Multiple orca pods visit the Sea of Cortez every spring and summer—one of the few places where these apex predators actively interact with humans. Orcas are present year-round, with peak sightings from July to August. Sightings are most frequent around Cerralvo Island and Isla San Jose, though they roam widely. A seasonal highlight: massive schools of acrobatic mobula rays gather from late March to early July—an unforgettable sight both above and below the water.

Day 1 – Welcome Aboard!
Guests are welcomed in Cabo San Lucas, with a 1:00 pm photo session and diving orientation at SeeCreatures. By 4:30 pm, a complimentary transfer takes them to La Paz, where the crew greets them with champagne and margaritas. The trip focuses on snorkeling and freediving, though dive gear is available on request.

Days 2–7 – Sea of Cortez
Expert guides lead daily excursions to encounter marine life like mobula rays, blue and humpback whales, dolphins, whale sharks, and more. A high-speed RHIB allows access to remote spots around Espiritu Santo, Cerralvo, and Las Ventanas. Guests may snorkel with mobulas at sunrise, return for meals aboard Mango Wind, then head back out for more wildlife encounters. Orca sightings are a major highlight during peak season.

Day 8 – Disembarkation
After breakfast, guests disembark in La Paz at 8:30 am, with complimentary transfers to Cabo or the airport.
