Safe and Fun
For comfort, safety, and the best experience, we travel in small groups. Groups range from 2 up to a maximum of 6 guests.
Located 5 hours driving from Cabo San Lucas, and more specifically to Puerto San Carlos (aka Magdalena Bay), this tranquil fishermen’s town turns into a “combat” zone where giant Sardines and Mackerel Baitballs form and are being chased by big pelagic animals.
Our main objective for this trip is the Striped Marlins, who migrate to this area every Autumn (October and November), for the abundance of fish.
These impressive predators work as a team to push the Sardine and Mackerel bait balls to the surface where they will take turns in taking part in the feast. But also Sail fish, Tunas, Sea Lions, and occasionally we will be blessed with the presence of Humpbacks, Orcas, and Dolphins will participate in the action.
The 5 day trip will allow us to be in the Ocean, a few miles off the coast, for 3 full days, which will allow us plenty of interactions with an incredible variety of wildlife in their natural habitat.
Difficulty level:
Difficult.
People who join this tour must be in good physical condition and have basic swimming skills. Also, be aware that we will be on a boat for around 10 hours a day. Minimum age 15 years.
