Pelagic shark snorkeling and several open-ocean safaris are led by marine biologists and ecologists, providing wildlife-focused briefings and conservation information. Trip formats range from short 2.5-hour photo and beach excursions to half-day (approximately 5–6 hour) snorkeling safaris that include sea lion encounters, mobula ray displays, turtles, dolphins, and migrating whales when seasonally present.
Reef snorkel cruises in Cabo San Lucas visit iconic landmarks such as the Arch and Lover’s Beach while offering safe guided snorkeling among reef fish and turtles. Orca Dive Baja offers Discover Scuba sessions for beginners and two-tank SCUBA options at Cabo Pulmo, Cabo San Lucas bay, and corridor locations for certified divers. Professional guides prioritize safety and respectful wildlife interaction, and trips note suitability for different experience levels where specified.
Equipment, photo options, and exact itineraries vary by tour; several experiences include edited digital photo albums. Orca Dive Baja operates within regional conservation practices and focuses on education, wildlife observation, and responsible tourism in the Sea of Cortez and Pacific approaches to Cabo San Lucas. Bookings are scheduled from the Cabo San Lucas marina with clear pre-trip instructions, gear options, and photographic services available on select departures to suit families, snorkelers, and certified divers locally.
