Itinerary
Join us on a small-group adventure led by a marine biologist and snorkel alongside the largest fish in the ocean—the whale shark. You’ll also swim with friendly sea lions at San Rafaelito, where vibrant coral reefs and colorful fish surround you. The experience includes a visit to Balandra, one of Mexico’s most beautiful beaches, where you can relax on the white sand, dip your toes into turquoise waters, and enjoy fresh ceviche and cold beer. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Only 14 boats are allowed per turn, with 4 daily turns: 7 am, 9 am, 12 pm, and 2 pm. For the 7 am and 9 am turns, we request spots via WhatsApp the day before at 3 pm, and spots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If we don’t secure a morning slot, we request a spot for the 12 pm or 2 pm turns the next morning. We will get in contact with you if we don’t get the desired turn to let you know the turn we got assigned. Please plan your schedule accordingly.
