This was everything I expected and more...our captain Tony was great at finding whalesharks, and our guide Eric gets top marks- he helped me keep up when I couldn't swim fast enough to keep up, and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Can't say enough about how fantastic the whole experience was.
Highly recommend Red Travel to organize excursions from La Paz to areas in Mar de Cortes like swimming with whale sharks, traveling to Isla Espíritu Santo to snorkle etc- Erik is the best guide and our kids loved him and he made all the difference for a great experience.
I just finished the Presidents Week Adventure trip. I was not disappointed! I saw tons of grey whales, sea lions, whale sharks, and much more. The guides were all very knowledgeable, the staff were very accommodating, and they all did a fantastic job of keeping our group happy and safe. The hotel in La Paz was great and in a very good location. The camp in Magdalena Bay was beautiful and I was amazed at how well it runs given the strict conservation guidelines for the area. In fact, one of the reasons I chose to go with Red Travel Mexico was because of its conservation ethos. The staff and guides all seemed to be focused on the health of the animals and the environment they live in. There is also an NGO associated with the group that, I believe, helps fund sea turtle research. I would even give this group another star if possible because we had some very challenging weather during the first few days of the trip and the staff had to scramble to make adjustments to our itinerary. They did an outstanding job.
Our trip was fantastic! Our guide (sorry, forgot his name) was knowledgeable and kind. The pilot also did an excellent job maneuvering us around the whale sharks and the other boats. We appreciated the convenience of meeting in Pichilingue at the cruise terminal dock, saving a long ride into town. We were the first boat out to the area where the whale sharks frequent, and our guide quickly spotted a whale shark. We were pleasantly surprised there were many whale sharks around. Watching them feed and glide through the water was wonderful to see. The pilot stopped three times for us to snorkel amongst the whale sharks. The island they took us to next, was beautiful and picturesque. We hiked through the desert landscape with excellent views of another cove. Lunch was simple, yet delicious! The price for the day (boat, guide, pilot, snorkel equipment, wetsuits, island visit, lunch, and guided hike) was very reasonable. Highly recommended!
Everything on our 9 day trip was taken care. They had everything planned for us and all we had to do was enjoy our time. The tour guides were great and were very knowledgeable on everything. 10 out of 10 would tour again.
We did the whale shark swimming experience. It was just incredible with so many of the fish to see and swim with. The guide and captain were just perfect and ran a really assured and professional operation. We saw dolphins and a humpback whale to add to it all. Their swim gear matched the rest of the operation. These guys are busy with good reason!
