JULY - AUGUST

Expedition description
As the temperature rises in summer, many tourists depart, yet these months offer some of the best marine life sightings. We frequently encounter a variety of dolphin species, including the friendly bottlenose, common, spinner, and pantropical spotted dolphins, and is arguably the best time to spot the elusive Orca! Additionally, Sperm and Bryde’s Whales are visible in the warm waters. Coupled with crystal-clear waters (with visibility exceeding 30 meters/100 feet) and calm conditions on 90% of the days—virtually no wind—you can be assured of the best viewing conditions. With fewer tourists, there are also fewer boats, providing occasions when you might be the only boat with the marine life!!

Tips/gratuity - we are not fans of the forced tipping culture. So, if you feel inclined to leave a tip because you had an amazing time and you feel we did an exceptional job, the team would be delighted and grateful for your generosity :)
-
Snorkel gear
Reef safe sunscreen/protection - it is very sunny and hot during the day - please bring biodegradable, as normal sun protection is damaging for the reefs.
A good attitude, this is nature, there are no guarantees with what we can see, we will use our experience and expertise to put you in the best places possible for sightings but there is always a chance that you won’t see anything (although very unlikely!!).

Baja has a sunny, dry climate and only sees about 25cm/10 inches of rain in an entire year. Most of this rain falls from late August through September. The rest of the year we barely see rain.
Anything Else?
Logistics: The 2 nearest Airports to La Ventana are LAP La Paz (45 minutes drive) and SJD San Jose del Cabo (2.5 hour drive).
Please note this is a swimming/snorkel adventure and we will be in and out of the water all day, so please bring appropriate clothing and dive equipment.
Please feel free to bring your camera, although we do our best to take the perfect photos and videos for you, it’s always fun to take your own perspective.
