Whale Shark Snorkeling in La Paz

Highlights
Swim with the largest fish in the ocean, at the surface, in one of the few bays on earth where whale sharks return every season to feed. Departures from downtown La Paz on a small boat with a certified bilingual guide — snorkel equipment, life jacket and all permits and fees included. A regulated encounter, done right: the environmental authority limits how many people may be in the water at a time, and your guide tells you when to enter and when to exit. Those rules are the reason this encounter still exists. Whale sharks are wild animals in open water. Sightings are frequent in season, but never guaranteed — and we would rather tell you that before you book than after.

About La Paz
La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur, a calm Sea of Cortez port with a seafront promenade, island beaches and sea lion colonies offshore.
La Paz lies on a sheltered bay on the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez, in the south of the Baja California peninsula. Its malecón, a long seafront promenade, runs past sculptures, cafés and ice-cream stalls. The cathedral stands on Plaza Constitución, the Museum of Anthropology and History covers the peninsula, and the city has a long past as a centre of pearl fishing.
