From there it was just an incredible and unbelievable time we and our guests spent with these wonderful and mighty animals. 3 hours of peaceful and very close interaction. We saw a very big adult with two young ones. One definitely a baby. And then some other three or four young females. In particular, those young females were very interested in us. They came to check the boat and spy hope on us multiple times. They swam around the boat and were very curious about the divers.

Thanks to our spotter plane, we are now able to spot them quite easily, they normally congregate in groups of up to 10,000! We notice they are more active and breach more often when the sun goes down, we call it ”the sunset show”. One of the coolest behaviours Katie and I enjoy watching is the courtship behaviour, when a small group of males chases a female, she often times try to be evasive twisting and turning in different directions while the males mirror her movements, from above it looks like a beautiful slow-motion dance.

The airplane searched all the Cerralvo channel and around the entire island but no orcas in that area. This afternoon plane will be back up east of Espiritu Santo and the southern bay of La Paz search.
Read MoreOh my god! What an experience! It is so obvious that the staff love their job and enjoy sharing this experience with their guests. Even the captain is completely accessible and interacts with the group. He even put out a parade with the dolphins at the end of the day. We were reminded multiple times […]

It was a small pod of eight orcas, including a massive and intimidating male and a mother with her calf. At some point, the male noticed our presence and he flipped with curiosity and started following us, we couldn’t believe it! Even though the group was traveling together, the mother and a young female remained on the side with the newborn to protect it and teach him how the group works.
