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.

We had several great in-water encounters with the orcas where they approached the guests and circled back around a couple of times, oftentimes coming face-to-face with the snorkelers.

On the first day of the trip, the first open ocean safari, seven orcas! No words! One of the things I value the most in working in the wildlife ecotourism sector is seeing the emotions of the guests on their faces whenever they have an encounter that has been waiting for a very long time.

The orca and mobulas safari up the Sea of Cortez has to be the most exciting trip I have been part of as a Nautilus crew. From the moment the sun rises, until well after it sets behind the cactus of the Baja coast, we are looking eagerly for all the wildlife we can find in these waters…and there is plenty! Thanks to our airplane giving support, we could spot a pod of six to eight orcas yesterday. After a short ride, we ended up being the only boat around that orca family, who cruised at a languid pace for 3 hours, allowing us to jump more than 10 times, and have a close look at them and them at us. As I was maneuvering the Galant lady ahead of the tender, to keep track of the pod, the whole family of orcas surrounded the boat. It was insane! the size of these orcas is impressive, their rounded shape and brilliant black and white skin, they truly are the pandas of the ocean! They were so close to the boat that taking turns, captain Gordon and I were able to jump in for a swim with these beautiful animals.

entana and we had a free-diving 101 session, then loaded into Inde 2 just as Katie and Scarlett were taking off to scope things out for us. It wasn’t long after they took off that they found a pod of Orcas on the NE side of Cerralvo and we all started heading there as fast as possible. Inde 2 arrived ahead of the NGL to find a pod of eight or nine Orcas,
