What To Expect

This snorkeling experience is designed to feel easy, calm, and rewarding from start to finish. You depart from San Jose del Cabo on a comfortable, stable boat that makes the ride smooth and relaxed as you travel along the East Cape. Once at the reef, the crew sets the pace and explains what you will see, keeping everything simple and clear. Water entry is controlled and stress free, allowing you to float comfortably while exploring coral formations, schools of fish, and passing rays below. You snorkel at your own rhythm, taking breaks on the boat whenever you want, then returning to the water when ready.

Fantastic snorkelling and bonus extra whales!

We had a fantastic day on the water with our guide Fran and El Capitan Jose today. We booked our trip only the night before which could have made things unorganized but everything was so well taken care of. We were the only guests (3) so that was a bit of an added bonus. The boat was in immaculate shape, clean and well maintained. The day was a bit windy with the water around 70 degreed F so wet suits (they appeared to be practically brand new) were provided for us. Masks, snorkel and fins were newer and good quality. We appreciated that, while life jackets were readily available, as strong swimmers we had the option not to wear them. Wetsuits kept us very boyant! At our first snorkelling stop the visibility wasn't great due to the wind direction so we only stayed a short while. Our second stop in Chileno Bay was terrific - a wide variety and quantity of fish, a lobster, a moray eel, and lots of time to explore. Fran had given us a good safety briefing and was checking in with us frequently while in the water, making sure we were safe and felt comfortable with everything. Lunch was good - choice of burritos from a local restaurant, and fresh water. But the BEST part were the whales! We know that no tour operator can control whether it is whale season or where they might show up, but Fran kept a good eye out for any surfacing whales and Jose steered us to get as a good a view as possible while not intruding on their space. We had at least five encounters with cow/calf pairs or adults. It was amazing. We were going to have another snorkeling stop but saw more whales instead! I would highly recommend this trip and this tour operator
Really, really great snorkeling trip

This was a fantastic snorkeling trip! At 4 hours it was not too long, not too short, and it was a small group (5 family members and our guide and boat captain). Our guide Fran was incredibly knowledgeable, and very clearly cares deeply about marine life and ecosystems. Him and the captain worked well together, they ensured that we were able to see a lot, and they always kept our safety and the safety of the animals front and center. We saw (and heard) whales, rays, so many different kinds of fish and corals, and it was overall a great excursion. Highly, highly recommend!
Unforgettable day with a great team!

Ocean Safari was just that! We started out at the marina in a pristine, comfortable boat and spent time watching several groups of humpback whales. Our first stop was Chileno bay to snorkel the reef. Fran was a great guide and the fish and coral were beautiful! Our next stop was in open water to swim with the Olive Sea Turtles. Throughout the day Fran an our Captain Roberto and Fran were very respectful of the environment and animals, explaining the behaviors and the best way to approach in a safe and non distributive way. We swam with two but saw a dozen! Finally? On our way back we saw a sea Lion hunting and they offered to let us swim along side, but we chose to watch from the boat before heading back to the marina. What was so great was all the opportunities in one trip - all in 3 or 4 hours. Would recommend 10/10!
Best experience ever
