Safe and Fun
For comfort, safety, and the best whale shark snorkeling experience, we travel in small groups.
After a briefing about whale sharks, you will be outfitted with snorkeling equipment, and a marine biologist trained in whale shark conservation will guide your trip as we set out in search of the sharks in the Bay. Trips will generally last three hours in length with snacks and refreshments provided before returning to shore, where you can change before the return trip back to Cabo San Lucas.
