After 3 Magical days with the great White sharks it was time to point the boat towards the waters of Cedros and Benitos I think some of our guests had already started to wonder how this trip could get any better after spending that much time in the water with such huge animals. This morning […]

We stayed for three days and we saw some huge female great whites that we have not seen for the entire season so that was excellent. There was a big male sea lion that had a bite on the side of it and it seemed that it was recently done but he was not shy […]

Today we had a great combination of an enchanted mysterious kelp forest and a bunch of curious sea lions, playful Guadalupe seals, shy harbor seals and lazy elephant seals at Cedros island; beautiful sunrise gave us a lovely start this morning near by to the pinniped colony, so we awake with seals barking instead of […]
