Description

Swim with gentle giants

Your encounter with whale sharks begins when you cruise out of Cabo in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles and drive through the beautiful desert on a brand-new highway to La Paz. Upon arrival, you will get ready for the swim of a lifetime. Local boat captains will take you just offshore into the beautiful Sea of Cortez where the whale sharks gather during the winter. Along the way, keep an eye out for other sea life, including humpback whales, rays and dolphins that share the waters with the whale sharks. Whale sharks are, as their name implies, whale-sized sharks. These gentle creatures migrate to the warm seas in search of food, swimming together in large pods as they gather plankton.


Be at peace in La Paz

After your visit with the whale sharks, head back to La Paz to relax and indulge in a local lunch. Enjoy strolling around this beautiful city, discovering the quaint local shops and markets that will allow you to discover the real Mexico. Afterwards you will be returned to your Los Cabos resort.
