About this experience
As a PADI Eco 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 hot spot 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!
