Ocean Safari in San José del Cabo

San José del Cabo

From USD 200/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.

Incredible experience... I was hoping to swim with mobula rays, which didn't happen, but I had other amazing experiences like seeing sperm whales and swimming with sharks, which I wasn't expecting! I dared to go in with my son because Mateo, our guide, made us feel very safe... We'll definitely have to come back next year to look for them! Excellent experience 😍🤩
