Full-day whale shark snorkeling tour from Cabo San Lucas to La Paz: luxury boat swim with gentle giants + dolphins and rays, wetsuit + snorkel gear provided, stroll La Paz boardwalk and Baja tacos lunch, continental breakfast, photographer, small group max 10 with round-trip transport included.
Embark on a full-day escape from Cabo San Lucas to the serene Sea of Cortés, where you’ll swim alongside the gentle giants of the ocean: massive yet harmless whale sharks.
Your expert guide and crew take you by luxury boat to prime feeding areas, where these filter-feeding behemoths glide slowly through the water, often so close you can see their spotted patterns and wide mouths filtering plankton.
Spend time snorkeling in crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful fish, stingrays, and occasional dolphins, then relax on deck with continental breakfast and cold drinks. After the swim, enjoy a quick stroll along La Paz’s scenic boardwalk (Malecón) and savor a delicious Baja-style taco lunch before the return drive through the desert.
This 10-hour adventure includes round-trip air-conditioned transport, all snorkel gear, lifejackets, wet suits, towels, breakfast, lunch, and a photographer to capture the moments.
Real talk: whale shark sightings are highly likely in season (October–May) but never 100% guaranteed—guides maximize your chances.
Small groups max 10 for a personal, eco-conscious experience; book early for peak months.
