San Ignacio Gray Whales
Extraordinary Interaction & Experience
I’m staying motionless getting some great video and it keeps coming and coming right at me… I’m waiting for it to veer left or right as it’s a big ocean, but finally, I have to tuck my legs up into myself as I have nowhere to go. The manta passes directly below me and with one quick wing flap spanks me on the ass with enough force to move me up a few feet.

Read MoreWe spent 5 days on the Nautilus Belle Amie sailing to Socorro and it was an amazing experience. The staff was great, the food is nice and the cabins are very spacious. We saw a lot of manta rays, hammerheads, whale sharks, Galapagos sharks, silvertips, and more. It is a wonderful experience and I recommend everyone to come and join the Belle Amie for an amazing trip!
Read MoreSpectacular is the word that comes to mind to describe this trip. For 6 years I wanted to make this trip, and now that I have lived this incredible experience I think it was 100% worth it. It was a magical journey, where you are immersed in another world.
Read MoreMany of the staff of the Belle Amie were on my trip in March, and it was great to see them again along with new crew members. They were all exceptional in their work and made each and every guest feel special. You can easily see that it is a happy crew and a well-run ship. Kudos to the Captain and the Nautilus administration and thank you for another wonderful trip.
Read MoreMargo liked The Boiler for the diversity of fauna including mantas and hammerheads up close, Marie liked the landscapes of the coast and underwater arches at Socorro Roca O’Neil and Punta Tosca, the contrasts between black lava flows and white sand.

I was able to contain myself and admire them from a distance, letting them dictate the terms of our fleeting, yet life-changing interaction, letting them come near me. An experience I’ll always cherish. Thank you Nautilus for making it possible.
