Shark Safari and Snorkelling in Cabo San Lucas

Overview

Set off on a diving and snorkelling excursion in Cabo San Lucas to observe pelagic sharks. This daily trip is designed for both swimmers and observers, regardless of their experience level. The adventure offers the chance to see various marine species from the Baja region, and potentially more than four species of sharks, including Mako, Silky, Blue, and Smooth Hammerhead. The trip is led by experienced ecologists who share their knowledge of shark ecology and local conservation efforts. The activity is part of an ecotourism initiative aimed at protecting these animals and providing valuable data to researchers and scientists. Snorkelling equipment, as well as snacks and water, are provided during the trip. Underwater photos and videos are also included.

Activity itinerary

We will navigate through the marine park of Cabo San Lucas and see some of the most famous landscapes from Baja California, the notorious Arch of Cabo San Lucas, the Lovers beach, and the beautiful shoreline of Baja on the way. During the humpback whale season (nov-april) we might watch them breaching or surfacing too. Mobulas are also frequently early in the morning and late afternoon (May and December). Marlins, sea lions, sea turtles, among many other marine animals can be seen on our way, including many kinds of sea birds too! Once we arrive, the crew will start attracting the sharks with chum (made of 100% fish within the sharks diet) and your tour guide will give a presentation about our work, shark ecology and conservation efforts in the area. If you decide to swim with the sharks, you will also attend the mandatory safety briefing with the in-water procedures and all you should and should not do during the dive. Once the shark arrives, your safety diver will be the first one to get in the water. Follow the guides instruction and enjoy the sharks with safety and respect! Sharks may come very close to the boat and observers will also be able to see them from above.
