STEP INTO THE WILD PACIFIC
Magdalena Bay Wildlife Expedition​
​
5 Days/3 Boat Days - November 12th-16th
4 Days/2 Boat Days - December 6th-9th
Step into the Wild Pacific on a small, boutique expedition with only five guests, guided by Petra & Carlos Coste.
​
Each day we head out with a local captain in search of marlins, dolphins, whales, sea lions, and whatever else the Pacific chooses to show us. With a small group and hands-on guidance, you’ll have the chance to experience the wildlife up close, and even practice freediving or photography with expert advice.
​
At night, we return to a fisherman’s house, share fresh local meals, and spend time talking about the day’s sightings, marine life behavior, and the local ecosystem. These evenings are a chance to ask questions, review footage or photos, and get insights into the animals, their habits, and the surrounding environment. No crowds, no fixed schedule — just Baja, the way it really is.

Please note that the days on the sea can be long (7-8 hours) and sometimes rough, and while we hope to provide you with a unique encounter, we can't guarantee it. Good water skills, comfort in the open ocean, and the ability to get in and out of the boat quickly are essential. Many wildlife encounters can also be enjoyed from the surface, so freediving is optional.​​
