About this experience
Come live the most magical moment of the ocean in Cabo San Lucas.
I invite you to join me to find the majestic humpback whales, which every season return to our waters to sing, play and dance with their young.
It's not just a tour... it's connecting with something bigger than us.
We will sail the open sea, away from the crowds, enjoying the silence, wind and beauty of Baja California Sur. During the tour, I share with you stories, knowledge and the passion that a lifetime at sea has given me.
We don't just watch whales here...
We respect them.
We honor them.
And we let them decide how they approach us.
If you are looking for an authentic, intimate and real experience... this one is for you.
Come feel the energy of the ocean, get excited by the jumps and chants, and take a memory that stays forever in your heart.
