Ocean Safari in San José del Cabo

San José del Cabo

From USD 202/person

Description

Set out on an unforgettable journey across the Sea of Cortez, often called “the world’s aquarium.”
During this 5-hour adventure, you’ll explore open waters in search of dolphins, sea lions, turtles, rays, schools of fish, and during certain months, even humpback whales or mobula rays breaching from the surface.

Nothing is guaranteed out here — every day brings new surprises. That’s the beauty of the wild. Guided by a certified captain and naturalist, you’ll discover the coastline of San José del Cabo in a small, intimate group while learning about one of the richest marine ecosystems on Earth.

Between sightings, relax and enjoy a light lunch (burritos & water) as you feel the ocean breeze and freedom of the open sea. A perfect experience for those seeking a deep and genuine connection with nature.

We really enjoy this fantastic trip! Everyone was so nice and patient, and we saw the whale shark! So lovely and beautiful. If we had the chance must come to here again with Gluup! Thank you so much!

It was a magical and unforgettable experience. We saw the majestic whale shark; the guide even held our hands to help us stay calm and led us to where we could see it best! We felt incredibly safe with the captain and the guide, who were always very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to eat and drink. The ceviche and guacamole were delicious. I highly recommend taking this tour with this company; you won't regret it!
