Combo: Whale Sharks + Espíritu Santo

About

Whale sharks and the sea lions of Espíritu Santo in one day

Meet your guide at Marina La Paz. On board you get biodegradable sunscreen, a wetsuit and snorkel gear, plus a briefing on the environment, safety and the animals.

🦭 Los Islotes A 1.5-hour ride takes you to Los Islotes, north of Espíritu Santo, to snorkel beside the biggest sea lion colony in the Sea of Cortez: more than 500 sea lions and many curious pups. Park rules require a life vest in the water. Pups often swim close; touching is never allowed.

🏝️ Lunch on a quiet beach Instead of busy Ensenada Grande we usually stop at Candelero or Corralito. Your guide sets up a table, shade and chairs for fresh ceviche, meat and bean-and-cheese burritos, and fruit. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free on request.

🦈 Whale sharks Back at El Mogote, once a whale shark is found you have up to 2 hours of jumps, 2 people in the water at a time, at a respectful distance.

Please note Whale shark entry is regulated by a federal agency and allotted by lottery, so a booking cannot guarantee it, neither the order or activities. If our boat is not granted entry, the day becomes the All Islands tour: still a full day in Espíritu Santo. Weather can also mean rescheduling or downgrading the tour to Sea of Cortez Wonders, we will always try our best to provide you the best experience.

This tour needs a minimum number of guests. Travelling solo or as a couple? You join an existing group.

Not included: hotel transport, towel, tips. Bring: towel, hat, sunglasses, layers, cash for tips. Arrive early to find parking.
