Best tour in La Paz!!

I came on a snorkeling and paddle boarding tour with O n Board  B aja and had the best time! The whole team was so pleasant and so genuine, you can tell they wanted to make sure you had the best experience. Stephanie, Reidar, and Mafer were all so helpful and easy going, made the booking so easy and the tour a blast. It was my first time snorkeling and they definitely made me feel comfortable so I can enjoy it. I definitely recommend them for your tour, you will be in very good hands!

I could spend hours writing about the amazing experience with Reidar, Stephanie, Mafer and the rest of the crew, but I think you should find it yourself if you go to Baja.

I am certain that they are the best ones to take you to Espiritu Santo, see the whales and discover Baja. They put heart, effort, humor and the best resources.

You can see Baja in different ways but the best experience is definitely with them.

We are so lucky to have found this group! Wonderful staff, first-rate equipment, best Captain! A lovely day filled with new experiences and lovely beaches. Thank you....we will be back.

Adventure Travel Baja Style

We love Baja. The “real Baja” from extraordinary gray whale interaction to exploring the Sea of Cortez, beach camps, mobulas and orca expeditions, great whales, sailing, kayaking, scuba diving, swimming, overlanding or simply relaxing and watching the sunset with new friends and a drink in hand. We do it all and we love it.

San Ignacio Lagoon Friendliest Gray Whales on the Planet

This is the most amazing and spectacular whale interaction with humans on the planet. Be ready to create a deeply personal connection that will stay with you for a lifetime.

BAJA ULTIMATE WHALES

Meet the most majestic whales on the planet: Gray whales, humpbacks, blue whales, fin-back whales and whale sharks. Lets not forget about the huge pods of dolphins.

Summer Adventure & Whale Sharks

Discover the world’s aquarium, the Sea of Cortez. A variety of majestic marine animals like whales, dolphins, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, bull sharks, sea turtles, gigantic manta rays, sea lions, and even orcas live in the sea of cortez, one of the world’s most biologically rich bodies of water.

Mobula & Orcas

Orcas? Really? Yes and with a lot more to this adventure than mobula rays and orcas. From January onwards and with the help of our spotter airplane, we see blue whales, fin-back and humpback whales in the southern Sea of Cortez.

LuXURy liveaboard KAyaking

Explore the most beautiful islands in the Sea of Cortez including Loreto and Espiritu Santo. Paddling, relaxing and adventuring during the day and then effortlessly travelling and covering miles in the evening or early morning in comfort and luxury aboard our expedition yacht or one of our small ships.

Mothership SUPPORTED Kayaking & CAMPING

Adventure your way. At your own pace. With luxury touches from tent and tablecloth lunch service to silver tray cold drink service by a hostie waiting on the beach for you after an afternoon of paddling.

ECO EXPERIENCE CAMP

Stunning beaches and the beautiful Sea of Cortez meet on the shore of Espiritu Santo, which is delightfully pristine and off-the-grid despite being only 18 miles north of La Paz. Tim Means, the founder of Baja Expeditions, saved this island from commercial exploitation by raising the funds to buy the island from the developers and arranging for its donation to the people of Mexico as a national park.

It’s easy to fall in love with sailing. Especially when you raise the sails and feel them fill with wind as the yacht accelerates and then totally quiet with just the hiss of the water going past. It is equipped with kayaks, paddle boards, snorkelling and scuba gear. It’s your adventure and it’s our job to make it happen.

Whale Shark Adventure

Swim with the largest fish in the world

Whale Sharks - The Gentle Giants of La Paz

Whale Sharks known as the “Gentle Giants”, these creatures visit the Bay of La Paz as they come here to feed in the plankton rich waters. Swimming with them can be both a humbling and exhilarating experience, particularly appealing to the young ones.

Our whale shark adventures are based out of La Paz where we have our headquarters at Marina Costa Baja. From here, it’s only a 30-minute boat ride to the area where the whale sharks are found. That means less time traveling and more time in the water with the whale sharks!

Not staying in La Paz? Don’t worry, we can arrange for ground transportation from Los Cabos or Todos Santos area.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON A WHALE SHARK ADVENTURE WITH BACO ?

Aside from an incredible adventure swimming along the biggest fish in the world, the one thing our former guests appreciate more than anything else is our staff. Bilingual, fun, educated and professional, our guides are the best in the eco-touring industry. They will cater to your needs every step of the way, sharing information, entertainment, refreshments and a healthy dose of charm to keep you smiling all day long. 

THIS TRIP INCLUDES

Intimate snorkeling experiences with peaceful whale sharks — just you, your guides, and these massive beautiful creatures…

What is a whale shark? Basic information for you to know

The whale shark is the largest fish in the world. Measuring between 18 to 32 feet, these fish are no minnows. Even juvenile whale sharks are huge! 

Yet, despite their size, they are one of the gentlest creatures in the ocean. Whale sharks are filter feeders. This means they eat plankton. They also eat small creatures like krill and tiny crustaceans. So they’re virtually harmless to humans.

Where to swim with whale sharks in Baja California

Swimming with whale sharks is a popular activity in many parts of the world. You can do this type of activity in the Philippines, the Maldives, Indonesia, Australia, and also the Caribbean. 

In North America, you can find whale sharks in Mexico, around the Baja peninsula in the west. You can also find whale sharks in the Yucatan peninsula in the east.

Whale sharks love warm water. And they tend to go where there is an abundance of the type of food that they love to eat. If you’re wondering where can you snorkel with whale sharks in the Baja, the best location happens to be in the shallow waters of the Sea of Cortez.

When is the best time to see whale sharks in La Paz?

Believe it or not, there’s actually a whale shark season in Baja. The La Paz whale shark season in Sea of Cortez runs between October to April. This is the time when plankton is most abundant in the water. 

Plankton is what attracts the whale sharks to the area. However, take caution when doing your swim with whale sharks Baja California tour in November, as the winds in the area can often make the water too strong for swimming.

Other things to know about whale sharks in La Paz

Baja California whale sharks in Mexico are protected creatures. In the past, tourists who visited La Paz often hired boats to engage in swim with whale sharks Sea of Cortez experiences. However, despite it being such a popular tourist activity, there was essentially no regulation in the number of boats doing whale shark Mexico tours. As a result, swimming with whale sharks Baja excursions began to have a negative impact on the whale sharks’ habits.

These days, the shark tour operators who do these types of swimming with whale sharks La Paz experiences are tracked by GPS. This monitors their speed and limits the number of boats who come to see the whale sharks. Certain rules are in place to also limit the number of people who swim with the whale sharks. All these regulations help to ensure that these creatures are able to enjoy their lives with relatively little disturbance and influence from humans.

Tips for making your whale sharks in La Paz tour enjoyable 

Taking a tour to see whale sharks in La Paz is truly a bucket list item for many people. These gentle giant creatures are amazing to see in real life!

While the swim with whale sharks La Paz experience is likely to be memorable in and of itself, there are several ways you can make it even more enjoyable for you and your family. As you get ready for your whale sharks in La Paz tour, here are our tips for making the most of this unforgettable experience. 

Give yourself plenty of time to do the La Paz whale sharks tour

Since whale sharks are a protected species, there are certain regulations that tour operators need to follow. One of the regulations is that there are time windows that boats are given for visiting the whale sharks in the Sea of Cortez. 

If you’re on a whale shark snorkeling excursion, you may have to wait for your time slot to open up. Be patient, and make sure you give yourself plenty of time in your day, in case there are delays during your swim with whale sharks in Baja California Mexico experience.

Practice proper water safety 

Doing a swimming with whale sharks La Paz experience in Mexico means that you’ll be riding in a boat and swimming in open water. If you’re doing this experience with kids, it’s important that they know proper ways to stay safe in a boat and in the water. 

For starters, make sure your kids wear life jackets. When the boat is moving, make sure to stay seated and hold on to something. 

The waters in the Sea of Cortez can get really choppy and bumpy! Even if you’re a confident swimmer, it’s helpful to wear a life jacket while you’re swimming in the water, to help you stay afloat.

Bring a set of warm and dry clothes

Riding around in a boat can get pretty windy. Since whale shark season falls around the North American fall to spring, the wind can get pretty cold during your Baja whale shark tours. 

Also, you’ll be going in and out of the water frequently, so you might end up freezing during the boat ride! You’ll also likely be pretty soaked by the end of the day, from all the spray from the waves. 

If you’re planning to go out and see La Paz whale sharks, bring a warm waterproof jacket. Long pants and socks are also helpful to stay warm in the boat. If you want, you can also bring a big, thick towel to wrap around your body and block the wind.

Be prepared for you whale shark tour with some helpful supplies

The waters in Baja Sur can get pretty choppy. All that rocking back and forth can send your stomach into somersaults during your La Paz swimming with whale sharks experience! If you’re prone to motion sickness, take along some medication to prevent you from getting sick on the boat.

Swimming with whale sharks is a memorable experience, and you want to be able to capture that experience, both above and below the water. Before going out on your whale shark excursion, purchase a waterproof case for your camera. Alternatively, you can get a waterproof camera to take underwater photos of the whale shark.

Keep a safe distance from the whale sharks

One of the most important rules for swimming with whale sharks is to keep a safe distance. These giant fish are docile and gentle, but their size also makes them very strong. 

A flick of their tail or a nudge from their head can send you tumbling through the water. When swimming in the water with whale sharks, make sure you keep a safe distance. Also, make sure your children maintain a safe distance as well.

Practice leaving no trace on your excursion

One of the wonderful things about swimming with whale sharks in Mexico is getting to experience the beauty of Mexico itself. Baja Sur, and its surrounding waters, is absolutely beautiful! 

As a visitor, you need to remember to leave nature just as you found it. That’s why it’s best to adhere to a “leave no trace” philosophy when you’re doing your whale shark excursion. Whether you’re swimming in the water with the sharks, or having a picnic on the beaches of Isla Espiritu Santo, remember to leave no trace.
