Daily Itinerary

This expedition will be a 5-night stay below a star-studded sky on the magnificent Magdalena Island. Each morning you will head out with our team to see the extreme hunting skills of the striped marlins, the playfulness of sea lions, and get up close and personal with many other pelagic sea species in the area including the Mobula Ray migration, whales, dolphins, and more!

Arrival day – We recommend that you arrive one day before the starting day of your expedition so that you have enough time to prepare and make your way to the meeting point (travel/accommodation expenses not included).

Day 1: Drive to Magdalena bay. We will have a lunch on our way and then arrive to Magdalena Bay for dinner. We will do all the necessary introductions and a briefing on what to expect for the coming days.

Day 2, 3 & 4: 3 days of ACTION! 6:30 am, after a light breakfast, everyone will be on the boats by 7:15 am to get an early jump on the search for bait balls and the Pelagic hunters, as well as whales, mobulas, dolphins and more. We will be one of the only groups staying on the island giving us an advantage over every other boat in the area.

After a full day of action and adventure, we will be back around 4:30 pm to take a break and head to dinner at 6:30 pm. We will repeat the same structure for 3 days.

Day 5: We will have the opportunity to explore the hidden spots of Magdalena Bay, visit the unique sand dunes, cruise through the mangroves, look for bald eagles, and hopefully
encounter the elusive wild coyotes of Magdalena Island. We will then have a final get-together to celebrate the experience, share photos, and have a farewell drink.

Last day: We will head back to San Jose Del Cabo around 9:00 am to be back in the afternoon.
