About this trip
Off into ‘The Big Blue’ This is an adventure tour, not for the faint hearted - the majority of the tour with be in the boat searching the open pacific ocean and hopefully interacting with some of the world’s wildest marine life. These are long days with pick up points in La Ventana or La Paz, we then travel to the Pacific Ocean where we will meet our local captain and his Panga (boat).
This area is a lot less developed for tourism, and we are working with local fisherman in aims of reducing commercial fishing. So we will be using their pangas, meaning you will not be traveling in luxury. That being said, we will provide food, drink and a guide to provide a great service for this adventure!

We are not a big corporate tour company, in fact we are just a one person tour organiser and guide that works with local people with aims of reducing the amount of over fishing and provide income through means of tourism.
Our goal is to show you the true beauty of Wildlife both underwater and on land.
We believe that if we show more people how these animals live and why they are so important for our eco systems then we can encourage humans to look after Mother Nature like she looks after us.

Wow. This was an experience beyond words, one now stored alongside the most cherished memories of my life.
First off, I've never met a team as passionate about their work and the animals as Jaime, Elias, and Lorenzo. They simply radiated passion and created the most amazing atmosphere on the boat. They explained every nuance, from the taxonomy and behavior of local wildlife to the facts and human influences on the local biosphere. Everything was done with so much love. Experiencing this team in action alone is worth taking the trip.
But beyond that, we were blessed with seeing groups of Mobula Rays, Turtles, Humpback Whales and the biggest animal on Earth: a Blue Whale! Those were moments I will never forget. And not only that: The whole team worked two hours of overtime to ensure that we had the time of our lives with these beautiful animals!
Thank you, Jaime, Elias, and Lorenzo, for going above and beyond for the animals and for us! This was by far the most amazing wildlife tour I've ever had in my life!

For such a long time, this ocean safari was on my bucket list and finally i was able to take part. It was such a great tour an i can highly recommend it. Why? Because you dont have the feeling you are on a typical touristic-tour. Because it's super exciting not to know, which animals you will find (of course you have your hopes...). So, we saw in the beginning jumping mobula rays, spearfish, sealions and a turtle and than .... finally, humpback wales. It was such an unforgettable experience, how close the came to the boat, to hear their sounds (thanks to Jamies underwater-micro), to see them swimming in bird-perspective (thanks to Jamies Drone-videos). Jamie is such a fantastic, and enthusiastic guy. You can really feel his passion about the oceanlife and all the informations he was giving us, were super interesting! I am so happy that he also shared his videos and drone-captures with us (Thanks again!). All in all, a wonderful tour, which i can definitely recommend! ENJOY LA VENTANA!!!!

It was a great experience, our group saw humpback whales, dolphins, sea lions, and a variety of fish. Our tour guide was fantastic and overall the experience was more than worth the price. I’d highly recommend and will be a returning customer!

THE BEST whale watching/snorkel trip ever!!! I've done multiple whale watching trips around the world but this was definitely my favourite one! The sea of Cortez is really a big aquarium! Can you imagine to snorkel with ORCAS!! I felt a bit hesitant at first but Jamie reassured me that he would stay next to me and hold my arm which convinced me to do it. And yes, as he said, it was a once in a lifetime experience!!! So beautiful and impressive, even mom and baby!!! Not only the Orcas but the Mobula ray group was also spectacular and I even lost count on the amount of whales we saw! Oh, and turtles as well!!
Don't hesitate, it's really a unique experience and Jamie and Elias were excellent guides and fun people!

What an incredible experience. We spent the day snorkelling with baitballs in Magdelena Bay. Thankyou so much for making it happen Jamie! We had the time of our lives from start to finish. Beside the baitballs, we were in the water with Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Sea - Lions, a Humpback, a million birds and a Brides Whale - extreme excitement all day. We finished our day on a little beach enjoying a picnic. Thanks again for a day we won't forget in a hurry - we'll be back!
