Overview

As a PADI 5 Star Eco Dive Center, we want to encourage animal lovers away from swimming with dolphins in captivity by joining a regulated tour to see them in their natural environment. This would be a great family outing! We regularly see them from the surface and, for the more adventurous, we can often see them while snorkeling in the open ocean.

Did you know? You will spend a similar amount of money at a dolphinarium (after purchasing photos) as you will on this tour! We will likely encounter lots of other amazing animals in this nature hotspot of Baja Sur.

You might get the jackpot and see Orca, whales, mobulas, as well as the dolphins! Not to mention we take you snorkeling on some secluded reefs and a small sea lion colony.

This is unlike any other tour in Cabo. If you're a family looking to do something extraordinary off the beaten track, at one of Baja's best-kept secret locations... this is it! Suitable for young kids who don't mind a long car journey!

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

We will pick you up from any hotel from Cabo San Lucas to Todos Santos. If you are on the San Jose del Cabo side, we can offer you an Uber service to bring you to the dive center for the departure time in the morning.

What To Expect

Have you ever seen hundreds upon HUNDREDS of bottlenose dolphins swimming alongside the boat? Have you seen Spinner dolphins launch themselves out of the water, as they compete for height? We also encounter mobula rays, whales, ORCAS! and more. And no, NOTHING IN NATURE IS GUARANTEED! So we will also take you snorkeling at a sea lion colony and for lunch at a pristine snorkeling reef. Escape the Cabo crowds and explore!

The 2.5 hr drive from Cabo takes us to the captivating fishing village of La Ventana and Cerralvo Island. We provide a brunch pack & you can request a break along the way. Your day guide will connect with the captain, who is a seasoned expert and knows where to search for and view dolphins. Spend 6 hours immersed in nature, looking for WHATEVER wildlife we encounter, as long as it is respectful to do so. The boat is a 26 - 28ft Pange with shade and ladder.

Lunch is a boat picnic at a secluded beach where you can disembark and enjoy the surroundings. Go for a reef snorkel swim if you like.

We will run this tour when we have 4 people signed up.
