Baja Wild Encounters was born from a passion for wildlife and sustainability. Starting as a one-man effort by Jamie to reduce overfishing and create ethical tourism, we’ve grown into a dedicated team.
Ana keeps operations running smoothly, Sofía handles reservations with care, and Elias, now a key guide, shares his deep knowledge of Baja’s marine life.
We specialise in small-group adventures that prioritise unforgettable experiences while protecting wildlife and ecosystems. Welcome to the Baja Wild Encounters family!

We so much enjoyed our trip with Baja Wild Encounters and our tour guide Alba. We saw so many wild animals on our half-day trip including humpback whales (mother and child), dolphins, jumping rays, sea lions and even a hammerhead shark. Alba well explained the different behaviors and characteristics of the pelagic animals we encountered. Towards the end of our trip we were able to swim with sea lions. Though, We would have loved to swim more often with the animals.

We had a wonderful marine safari in La Ventana with Jamie and Romina. The experience was truly special. We saw several marine species, including a whale that gave us an incredible show, as well as a ray and a turtle. The guides were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive, and the lunch was delicious. I was there with a friend, and the thoughtful birthday attention they gave her made the day even more memorable. We had an amazing time and highly recommend this experience.

We had a wonderful time. Jamie and Em are amazing trip leaders who led us to spectacular encounters with marlin, sailfish and sea lions. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and good humor is unmatched. We had a well-matched group of participants, which made the experience that much better.

... first of all our dive guide Le Roux Burger was just brilliant ... caring with a positive out look on life and very supportive to me as a novice free diver, he loves the sea creatures and knows so much about them ... the captain and the boat were great too and we saw all the animals that we hoped to meet plus the bonus of a whale at one of the bait balls ... the accomodation is bone dry basic (no fridge, no frills, no lampshades) but clean and after being out at sea from 7 am to 4 pm it really does not matter and even the mosquitos are irrelevant as the need to sleep is deliciously strong to overshadow everything except the appetite which brings me to the food which is basic but cleanly prepared which is key as you do not want to be on the boat for some 8 hours with montezumas revenge causing havoc with your digestive system ... thank you Le Roux for your guding, hand holding and encouragement ... xxx ernst.

That was a trip of a lifetime. The wildlife encounters of the 7 day trip felt like from a National Geographic documentary. The group was lovely, mixed nationalities, mixed ages but shared passion and humor. Mikel was a legend, couldn‘t have asked for a better tour guide!

The perfect trip doesn’t exis…..but WAIT! Oh, YES! it does!
Baja Wild Encounters really delivered- and not just an ecotour, but an experience. The adventure and the wildlife were as much the main event as the hospitality-the people, the amazing food (prepared fresh daily by local chefs ) and of course, the cliffside beachfront accommodations!
I journeyed to Baja California Sur to join the 8 day mobula ray expedition with Baja Wild Encounters and it went above and beyond my expectations! I found Baja Wild Encounters on Instagram and was immediately wowed by the amount and biodiversity of wildlife they featured on their Instagram account. I can tell you it’s just as amazing in person as it is online because we not only saw mobula rays but also orcas, blue whales, dolphins and many others-including some rare encounters like the dwarf sperm whale! We even dropped a hydrophone in the water to listen to sperm whales. Very cool!
All of the guides were very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals we were viewing and their environment, with an emphasis on viewing them on their terms. We spent 5 days on the boat, but when not on the boat we enjoyed world class family-style meals, chilled by the pool or fire, visited local restaurants, and did some exploring -one of the side excursions was a night SUP with lights looking for wildlife that’s active at night. And it wouldn’t be complete without some 2000s Usher Karaoke, but Jamie can tell you more about that!
Really, this trip was a breath of fresh air -8 hrs a day of it to be exact while cruising around the Sea of Cortez. It’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times so book this trip! All you need is a sense of adventure... and a wetsuit!
