Day 1:
Our Nautilus-owned SeeCreatures is located downtown Cabo San Lucas, near the marina, and is your home away from home. We encourage you to fly in early and allow us to arrange for some local diving, whether it’s Gordo Banks, Cabo Pulmo, or the La Paz whale sharks. Your trip includes a complimentary Backscatter lesson in the afternoon. Our photo pros will coach you on how to get that perfect manta image, help set up or service or repair your camera gear, and assist with camera rentals. You are welcome to drop your bags off and check in whenever it’s most convenient, but we ask that you please check in at SeeCreatures by 7pm at the latest. Please arrive back at SeeCreatures by 7:15pm for the mandatory safety video before boarding the boat at 8pm. 

Days 2-10:
Socorro, and orcas, and giant schools of mobula rays. This is a FANTASTIC combination. Socorro is always awesome with friendly giant mantas, dolphins, and 11 species of sharks and May, June, and early July is our favorite times of the year to visit the islands. We get the most orca sightings and interactions in July and August. Mobulas are resident year-round in the Sea of Cortez but aggregate in huge numbers from April through July. It’s a pretty narrow overlap, but what an opportunity to combine the peak season for each of these iconic animals into an awesome adventure. Spotter airplane supported, of course 

Day 11:
We will likely get underway very early this morning for the voyage back to Cabo San Lucas. This is the perfect day to check out photos and videos with the new friends you made onboard, pack your dive gear up, and take time to relax before reality sets back in. The islands, the mantas, the sharks, and the dolphins are almost “otherworldly,” and we hope the magic stays with you for a long time.

Day 12:
Always a sad time for us. It’s time to say goodbye and disembark the boat in Cabo at 8:30am for either SJD airport or to SeeCreatures in Cabo San Lucas. It doesn’t have to be goodbye for long; we hope to see you again very soon.
