Our previous expeditions have granted us breathtaking sightings of blue whales, whale sharks, huge pods of dolphins, sperm whales, orcas, and humpback whales. This tour can be considered the ultimate blue water expedition anywhere in the world!
We work with one of the best local captains in La Ventana who has the best experience in the area!
During the months of May and June, we have the opportunity to witness the massive schools of aggregating mobula rays, orcas, blue whales, fin whales, sperm whales, humpback whales, sea lions, massive pods of dolphins, manta rays, and more!!
On average, we spot orcas approximately 15-20 times per month during May & June, although not consecutively. Offering great sightings from the boat !
It’s important to know that some tours will see the orcas, and some tours will not see the orcas. We have set up everything possible to help maximize our chances, we want to see them just as much as you! The footage you can get from our boat of these amazing animals will blow your mind! Check out our video from the 2023 season!
When joining this trip, we encourage you to come with an open mind and no specific expectations. The ocean will graciously reveal its gifts to you. By placing yourself in the right place at the perfect time, you increase your chances of experiencing the incredible sights described above.

What you can expect
Arrive into SJD, and be whisked away to the most magical place on earth!
Your home for the week is a picturesque, private luxury beachfront condos with spectacular views and all the comforts of home — air-conditioning, WiFi, American satellite TV, patios with lounge chairs & hammocks to unwind while taking in the ocean breeze, and so much more.
The gorgeous Sea of Cortez is only a few steps across a white-sand beach from your door. And best of all, it’s located on the edge of a small fishing town, far away from the hordes of tourists, creating a unique experience to really enjoy the natural beauty of Baja. Once everyone is settled in we’ll meet for our first presentations then indulge in our first chef-prepared dinner of the trip.
The next morning, gear up and get ready for 8 hours at sea. We never know what we will see, but our main focus is in-water orca encounters and large schools of mobula rays!
While out on the ocean we’ll also be looking for sea lions, giant devil rays, whales, mantas, pods of dolphins, and many more incredible animals that call these waters home. Our days will be full as we search for different schools and discover this incredible natural spectacle. Our captains for this trip are local ex-fisherman who have transitioned to working purely in marine research and eco-tourism. This is living proof of the amazing things eco-tourism can accomplish. They have developed an unrivaled passion for the ocean and know the waters around this area intimately.
The nearest airport is Los Cabos International Airport (airport code SJD). Los Cabos International is also known as San Jose del Cabo International Airport by some airlines.
