With the support of a spotter plane for the maximum possible hours, this adventure is set apart from others as it increases odds for all encounters. Although our dream encounters are with Orcas, other possible encounters include Dolphins, huge schools of Mobula Rays, various shark species, sperm whales, fin whales, and even blue whales. Although it is high season, we still need to be lucky to have rare encounters, as nothing in nature is guaranteed.

- 5 ocean days, all boat costs.
- Ground transport round-trip from Los Cabos or La Paz to La Ventana.
- Breakfasts and Lunches plus snacks on the boat.

NOTE:
These trips are created for the adrenaline and wildlife types, and image-makers, who are serious about their large animal encounters. Some locations (Magdalena Bay) may be considered rustic and are not luxurious! We are not there for the comfort, but instead, for the abundance of marine life. No matter what anyone says, as divers and experienced explorers we know that in nature there are no guarantees. But the Baja is one of the world's most incredible ocean wildernesses, giving us the best chances for unforgettable adventures on the water.
