Tour overview

Ocean Safari is a thrilling adventure into the heart of the ocean, where adventurers can immerse themselves in the mesmerizing underwater world. It’s not just a journey; it’s a transformative experience that allows you to explore the aquatic realm like never before. This experience offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the marine world.

The abundance of life in the ocean is exceptional. It is no surprise that Jacque Cousteau once called the Sea of Cortez the Aquarium of the world. Depending on the season we will be able to spot whales, sharks, sea lions, mobula rays, turtles, Orcas, along with many more amazing species. It is the perfect place to hop in the water, get face to face with these astonishing creatures. This is a fantastic trip for snorkelers, free divers, and photographers alike.

Alongside our opportunities for open water wildlife encounters, we’ll have the chance to explore the stunning reefs surrounding the island through snorkeling. Plus, we’ll indulge in a lunch break on one of its secluded beaches.

All our adventures occur from the surface: snorkelling and freediving, no certification required!

Respecting the marine environment is fundamental to Ocean Safari. We’ll outline a code of conduct that promotes responsible interaction with marine life and the underwater ecosystem. By leaving no trace and adhering to ethical practices, you’ll contribute to the preservation of the ocean’s beauty for future generations.
