Check this off the bucket. Fantastic experience. - Lively friendly staff. Martiza was our guide, a marine biologist. She was very knowledgeable, lovely personality and was an incredible swimmer. She swam with the whale shark, Tuna, for two hours straight letting us know where it was at all times. Captain Ramon was on spot always there to pick up the exhausted swimmers and bring them on board for rest. The company only allows small groups up to 10 maximum. We were a boat of 6 passengers, giving us an incredible amount of time in the water swimming with this magnificent creature. Equipment was clean and in excellent condition. Highly recommend.

Well done - Mariela the Marine Biologist and Guide and Ramone the Captain, provided excellent professional and personalized experiences matched to the abilities of a divergent group that I was part of. They worked well as a team and portrayed an air of joyful confidence in their roles and goals. All swim gear was well cared for and clean, all safety equipment was present and well tended. The tour boat was well maintained and Captained well observing regulations and taking into account visitor experience including his singing ! Mariela was able to correctly asses the individuals abilities and graciously made the weaker clients feel safe while allowing the stronger feel independent while safely ensuring a quality experience for the entire group, very advanced guiding that seems a natural trait for her. The Government of Mexico and the sea life were well represented and respected by this company. Kelly Mortensen, Captain (sail), Commercial Pilot, Retired Mountain Guide and Mountain Rescue Examiner

Bucket list - Long bumpy ride out. Be prepared. A few people were motion sick because of waves and a small boat. It didn’t bother me.

Overall, the experience was more restricted than expected. - Visited during the New Year’s celebration. We saw whales daily right off the beach in Cabo San Lucas, but none were visible in La Paz. We arranged a private tour for two that included swimming with whale sharks, snorkeling with sea lions, and visiting Balandra Beach. While the scenery is beautiful, all tour operators follow the same routes and offer similar experiences, so the options felt limited. Overall, the experience was more restricted than expected.
