Description
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime experience in La Paz, Baja California Sur. Hop aboard a super panga boat and head to the Bay of La Paz in search of the majestic whale shark, the largest fish in the world.

Fun Facts About Whale Sharks:
- They can grow up to 12 meters (40 feet) long—bigger than a bus!
- Despite their massive size, they feed on tiny creatures like plankton and small fish through filter feeding.
- Known as the "gentle giants of the ocean," they are completely harmless to humans.
- Each whale shark has a unique pattern of spots, much like a fingerprint!
Our adventure continues with a visit to San Rafaelito, a small island featuring a vibrant coral reef and a colony of sea lions. This protected natural area is perfect for observing marine life, from sardines to snappers, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and stunning landscapes.
Next, we’ll explore the idyllic Espíritu Santo Island, where you’ll discover pristine white sand beaches and turquoise waters. Relax, snorkel, walk along the island’s fine shores, and enjoy a delicious included lunch on a private beach. Experience the unparalleled beauty of the Sea of Cortez!

We loved our experience with Gluup. We went scuba diving in Cabo Pulmo, snorkeling in La Paz, and on an ocean safari in Cabo San Lucas. They are always attentive and answer your questions at all times.

Super great experience, very friendly staff that were there to help me book every step of the way. Also excellent diving experience once we got on the water.
