Whale Sharks Sea Of Cortez September 2027
Whale Sharks Sea Of Cortez September 2027
Wow!! The whale sharks of Bahía de los Ángeles are absolutely amazing. We don’t know of anywhere else on the planet where you can swim with whale sharks and have the sanctuary all to ourselves. Sometimes there may be another boat in the bay, but it’s rare. What makes this even more special is the behavior of the whale sharks themselves as they are often quite friendly and even interactive with us.
Will you always be able to swim with good numbers of whale sharks?? Not necessarily, this is the mother ocean, but our success rate has been excellent from June through October every year. There is a lot more to this adventure aside from the whale sharks. On day 2 of the trip, we will likely start out at Las Ánimas with loads of sea lions and schooling fish, as well as the best chance of seeing hammerhead sharks in the Sea of Cortez. After that, we will continue adventuring north, travelling at night and anchoring during the day at our favorite sites, in some of the most rewarding, remote and difficult areas to get to in Baja.
Fingers crossed on: huge pods of dolphins, Super friendly sea lions, enormous schools of fish, and Mobula and cow nose rays
Please note that this trip finishes with a day at sea running south back to La Paz. We will be on sharp lookout for interesting critters to splash with along the way and have had very good luck jumping in with pilot whales, as well as some encounters with finback and sperm whales.
Sample Itinerary
Fly into Los Cabos (SJD). No problem to fly in the same day you are boarding your ship or fly in early and take advantage of some day boat adventures or complimentary photo and video workshop. This is a GREAT time of year to dive Gordo Banks.
Day 1 – Boarding Day!
Please check in at SeeCreatures Cabo by 4:30 pm for your coach transfer to La Paz, where our hosties will be waiting for you on the back deck with trays of margaritas and champagne, dinner on the stove and departure for the Sea of Cortez.
Days 2 – 7
Every day will be different and your captain and dive guides will update your itinerary to maximize animal and diving encounters and minimize any challenges with weather. This is a stunning time of year to dive the Sea of Cortez with water temps typically in the high 70’s and 80s.
One of the nicest things about this time of year is that the seas are generally very calm without any motion aboard our heavy steel stabilized ships. You can expect to visit Las Animas, Isla San Ildefonso, San Pedro Martir, and Bahia de Los Angeles.
We will spend the last day at sea exploring our secret hot spot near Mulegé, where pilot whales, dolphins, and other incredible marine life are often encountered.
Day 8 – Last Day
Morning breakfast. Disembark at 8:30 am in La Paz. A complimentary transfer back to either SeeCreatures Cabo San Lucas or SJD Airport.
