Today they were delighted with a treat: a 3 hour snorkel with the gentle giants, the biggest fish in the ocean: the whale sharks of Bahia de Los Angeles! More than six different whale sharks were feeding around the panga and the divers were able to get some close encounters with these 20 to 30 feet long harmless and beautiful sharks, an unforgettable experience for all of them!

Never seen an orca ever in my life, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Spotting them was a 50/50 chance during our 7-night and 8-day expedition. Knowing that going in, there was a possibility we might not see them and accepted that. I was really hoping that we were able to see them. Looking for them in such a vast open ocean can be looking for a needle in a haystack. I remained optimistic.
