ABOUT THE EXPEDITION
Join us for an 8-hour marine expedition in the offshore waters of Loreto Bay National Park and explore its stunning waters and islands.
Guided by Regina and Leopoldo, our certified diving and wildlife guides, you’ll have the chance to snorkel in vibrant coastal areas and caves, encountering colorful fish, playful sea lions, and schools of fish and dolphins and other marine megafauna.
Each season offers unique highlights: in winter, witness blue and fin whales feeding and nursing their calves; in spring and summer, enjoy playful dolphins and mobula rays; and in fall, look for baitballs and nesting sea turtles.
This expedition promises unforgettable encounters with remarkable marine life while learning from guides dedicated to conservation. Experience the beauty of Loreto's coastal treasures on this memorable day of exploration.
