Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome in La Paz and Transfer to La Ventana
We will greet you at the airport or your hotel in La Paz. From the very first moment, our team will be there to ensure you start the expedition in the best possible way. After your transfer, you’ll arrive in La Ventana — a small paradise by the sea. You’ll have time to settle into your hotel, relax, and enjoy your first sunset over the Sea of Cortez.
Days 2, 3, and 4: Ocean Safari — Searching for Marine Life
Each morning after breakfast, we’ll set out on our true Ocean Safari adventure. We’ll spend approximately six to seven hours a day navigating in open waters, scanning for any signs of marine activity: mobulas leaping into the air, orcas hunting in coordinated groups, whale sharks gliding beneath the boat, or pods of dolphins riding the waves. Every day is unpredictable and unique — we follow the rhythms of nature, ready to jump into the water the moment an opportunity arises. In the afternoons, you’ll return to the hotel to rest, explore the charming town of La Ventana, or simply relax under the starlit sky.
Day 5: Farewell and Return to La Paz
After breakfast, we’ll prepare for your transfer back to La Paz. Our team will ensure you arrive with enough time for your hotel check-in or your outbound flight. You will leave with unforgettable memories, the sea still echoing within you, and a promise to return and explore the wonders of the Sea of Cortez once again.

A great place to find diving options. I had dived with them a few years ago, and I did it again this time—it was amazing, highly recommended.

I went diving with them in Playa del Carmen, and everything was perfect—the communication, the pickup, and the diving. Thank you 😊
