What is the most charismatic (bony) fish in the Northeast Pacific? This is of course a subjective question, but in my opinion, the striped marlin wins.

To start this day we had an encounter with a couple of humpback whales which made an excellent start of the day, later we went out to find big bait balls of sardines and mackerels being hunted by marlins and sea lions, our guests could get a really close encounter with them and we were able to swim right next to them and enjoy the nature’s marvels.

This trip has been a unique and amazing experience. Seeking out bait balls is a mission-driven way to snorkel, with outstanding rewards.

The staff and the boat drivers are safe, knowledgeable, and know exactly when to put you in the water. Everyone on the boat got their fill of seeing the ocean fish and mammals throughout the day. Well-fed, awesome accommodations, expert and friendly staff, all make for one awesome vacation!
