Magdalena Bay Sardine Run Expedition
Overview
About this trip
Each autumn, the Pacific off Baja becomes the stage for one of the region’s most dynamic wildlife gatherings: the Magdalena Bay Sardine Run. Dense shoals of sardines, mackerel, and juvenile tunas bring striped marlins, sea lions, Bryde’s whales, dolphins, and pelagic birds into fast, coordinated hunts — a natural event captured by BBC Blue Planet, National Geographic, and other world-class wildlife productions.
This isn’t just a trip. It’s a guided learning experience — an opportunity to understand the Pacific through expert eyes, move with intention around wildlife, and deepen your skills both in the water and behind the camera.

Discover the Sea of Cortez, the wild Pacific, and the Yucatán cenotes through small-group freediving courses and wildlife expeditions guided by world champion Carlos Coste and marine expert and professional safety diver Petra Oberucova. We focus on personal coaching, safety, and connection with the ocean — whether you’re taking your first breath-hold or refining deep-diving skills. Each experience combines professional training with moments in nature that remind you why you started freediving in the first place. We explore respectfully, share knowledge about marine life, and support a mindful approach to the sea. High-quality equipment and underwater photography are included.
