A perfect day!
A perfect day! My father, husband and I had an amazing time on the water with Evans and Miguel. We appreciated their warm and friendly welcome as well as their passion for the ocean, respect for sea life, and deep marine knowledge. The boat was in excellent condition - it was comfortable, spacious and safe. Whilst the every day at sea is different, we were fortunate to spot humpback whales, gray whales, sea lions, a large fever of rays and a turtle. We highly recommend Baja Shark Experience and hope to enjoy more excursions with Evans and Miguel in the future!

Amazing ethical ocean experience that goes above and beyond for both the wildlife and the guests
I have been out with Baja Shark Experience several times now and each trip has been amazing. Our most recent shark diving trip was like something out of National Geographic and a once in a lifetime opportunity. Evans let us know that there were orcas in the area and asked if we wanted to take a chance and see them instead of shark diving. We decided to take the chance, and it was 100% worth it! Evans and Miguel went extremely above and beyond this day driving way further and spending all day on the water (10 hours) far beyond our originally scheduled trip time/distance. Perhaps more importantly, Evans puts the safety of his guests and the comfort of the animals as his top priority. He is an extremely ethical tour operator that will not put the wildlife or you at risk. Baja shark experience is the best ethical tour operator and they have clear (verbal and written) communication about what to expect on their trips. I would highly recommend the ocean safari and shark diving trips, we are hoping to do one of their multi day expeditions soon as well!

Like NATIONAL GEOGRAFIC and much more.
Ethical and magical✅
Evans and the captain, was a great team who did EVERYTHING to get the best experience as possible. We should’ve been going for blue- and mako shark but orcas were close by. We spend 9 hours plus at the ocean - just to swim with the orcas😍😍
BEST experience ever, no question⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In November I took part in the multi-day "Mexican Sardine Run" expedition with Baja Shark Experience to fulfill my great wish of seeing bait balls and marlins. Although I knew that you could see a lot of wildlife in the waters around Magdalena Bay if you were lucky, I never dared to dream of seeing so many different animals. Not only did I see incredibly beautiful shoals of sardines being hunted by striped marlins and sea lions, but I also saw humpback whales, orcas and even Bryde's whales. My personal highlight, however, was a group of Pacific white-sided dolphins that swam around us, casting curious glances at us and interacting with us for a really long time.
The days on the water were cold and exhausting, but the experiences on and in the water were definitely worth it. Evans is a great guide whose passion for the ocean is immediately infectious and with whom you have a lot to laugh about. Juan Carlos was a fantastic captain who was really excited for us when we spotted wildlife in the water. The organization of the entire trip was great and even my vegetarian needs were always taken into account. There is absolutely nothing that could have been done better in my opinion and I am already looking forward to being able to do another trip with Baja Shark Experience at some point.
I was part of the Striped Marlin Expedition in Magdalena Bay and I was very impressed. Our guide was Evans and his passion for the ocean is obvious and he is willing to go the extra mile.
On our expedition we saw a lot of ocean wildlife. We came for the bait balls and striped marlins but we saw so much more. There were sea lions everywhere, we saw lots of dolphins, the highlight was the Pacific White Sided Dolphins who were very curious and interacted with us in the water. We were lucky enough to see three different species of whales, humpback whales, Bryde's whales and orcas.
It is very impressive to see the sardine run and how all the predators hunt in the bait balls. A true ocean spectacle.
The expedition was very well organized and we spent every day on the water from sunrise to sunset. An absolute must for any ocean lover.

Incredible week on the ocean! My husband and I were on the Mobula ray tour and each day was an adventure! We spent hours swimming with hundreds of rays and as a bonus saw whales, swam with dolphins and sea lions!
It was incredible to get to swim along side all these animals observing them in their natural habitats. Although the trip was long boat days (8hours) it flew by!
Guide Gabo was incredible and we loved Evans who sets up the tours. They were great ahead of time explaining what you need as well as what to expect. This was a once in a lifetime trip for those looking for an ocean adventure! Hope to come back!
Teure Bootsfahrt auf sehr kleinem Boot.
Leider totale Enttäuschung in zweifacher Hinsicht. Zum einen: die „big animals“ waren schlichtweg nicht da. Auch die Guides mussten erklären, dass alle Spotterplanes und die Suche mit den Booten nichts helfen, die Bay ist leer.
Ein kleinerer Blauwal (immerhin!) zog durch die Bay, aber näher als ca 300m kamen wir nicht heran. Man sieht das Abblasen und die Rückenflosse in weiter Ferne. Ein kleiner und vermutlich kranker Finwal gab uns kurz die Ehre, mehr als den Buckel konnten wir aber auch nicht erspähen. Das war es mit den großen Fischen in 5 Tagen auf dem Wasser.
Jetzt aber zu Bajashark…
Bereits vor Anreise: Alternativlos wurden wir von LaPaz auf La Ventana umgebucht (downgrade von 4 Sterne mit Pool in der Stadt auf 3 Sterne mit Kakerlaken… ) und salzigem Wasser aus den Wasserhähnen. Keine Chance auf Stadtbummel oder selbstständig Essen gehen.
Das Boot ohne Spritzschutz und mit zu kleinem Sonnensegel und natürlich auch ohne Toilette, ein kleines Angelboot eben. Was haben wir in der Sonne geschmort oder in Gischt und Wind gebraten…
Alles wäre nicht so schlimm gewesen, wenn wir wenigstens mal ins Wasser gegangen wären. Geschätzt waren wir maximal 90 Minuten überhaupt im Wasser bei > 40 Stunden auf dem Boot. Für knapp 1.000,-$ pro Tag und Nase darf man erwarten, dass wenn die großen Fische nicht da sind, irgendein Ersatzprogramm steht. Wir wären gern auch 5x zu dem Mobulas gehüpft, hätten gerne noch mal die Seelöwen besucht und hey, Haie gibt es hier doch auch? Oder ein Riff? Stattdessen unendliche Stunden auf dem winzigen Boot ohne Kajüte.
Allerdings: realistisch betrachtet dürften die Chancen, mal ein größeres Tier im Wasser zu fotografieren, vermutlich eh extrem gering sein. Als die 7 Boote um den Finwal herumstanden hieß es, mit Walen zu schwimmen sei eh verboten. Hä?? Wofür sind wir eigentlich hergekommen? Whalewatching vom Boot aus geht sonst für ein Viertel des Preises, mit besseren Erfolgsaussichten und angenehmer.
Nicht empfehlenswert.
Mobulas hingegen sind wirklich toll.
This is the best shark experience you can get in Cabo.
The boat is very confortable and Evans is soo passionate about the sharks. You won't get back to the harbour as long as you don't see the sharks or you're not lucky at all!
We spent 2 full days in the sea to see silky sharks, blue , mako and lot of whales breaching and on both days!
The crew makes it very safe so I'd recommend to anyone.
Thanks Evans and captain Miguel!
I'll definitely coming back!

We had an fantastic day with Baja Shark Experience. Evans is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about sharks, and taught us all loads throughout the day. The whole team put in a huge amount of work, and we got to spend the afternoon with three very inquisitive blue sharks. We're hoping to return to Baja later in the year, and will certainly be booking another trip to see the silky sharks.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience ♡
This trip was AMAZING!! We didn't see a single shark because soon after leaving the marina (on a btw very comfy boat) we encountered a family of orcas hunting a school of mobula rays. Our guide Evans let us decide whether we still want to go searching for sharks or we prefer staying with the orcas. We all wanted the orcas. Evans went into the water first and then gave us a sign to follow him. We swam along with hundreds of rays and the orcas everywhere around us. The rest of the trip we followed the orcas by boat and saw humpback whales as well. It was breathtaking.Thank you so much Evans and Miguel (captain and spotter), for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. ♡ Your enthusiasm is contagious! I hope to come back for the sharks another day.
