Program details

There are few experiences in the world that match swimming alongside the largest fish in the sea - especially when that fish is a shark! However, these Whale Sharks are known as the gentle giants of the Oceans. Give us a day and we'll take you out of Cabo to La Paz for the adventure of a lifetime. Join us as we cruise out of Cabo on air-conditioned vehicles and drive through the beautiful desert on a brand new highway to La Paz, the capital of the state of Baja California Sur.


On arrival at the whale museum on the heart of the main board walk, we'll set you up with all your equipment for your snorkeling adventure. Our local boat captains will take you just off shore into the stunning Sea of Cortes where the Whale Sharks gather. Along the way, keep an eye out for other sea life, including Whales, rays and Dolphins that share the waters with the Whale Sharks. Imagine being eye-to-eye with a Whale shark as you snorkel close by these amazing creatures.


From up-close, you will be in awe of their size, feeding techniques and gentle grace as you swim beside these spectacular animals in the Ocean waters. After your visit with the Whale Sharks, head back to La paz and relax on the city’s boardwalk and indulge in a local lunch of "Baja-style" tacos and cold beverages. Enjoy strolling around La Paz before heading back to Cabo.
