The Pacific coast is a perfect place for dolphin watching as these playful animals live in the area throughout the year. Around 8:00 a.m. you will be picked up by a guide and professional driver to start this adventure, heading south of Sámara beach where the magic begins.

You can enjoy this activity aboard of an artisan panga. We will sail between 2 and 20 miles offshore, taking in the ocean breeze and the stunning views this paradise has to offer, while letting nature surprise us along the way. It’s common to spot turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and even whales during the season.

After this unforgettable experience, our captain will choose the best spot for you to explore the marine life of the Pacific. The snorkeling location and water visibility depend on weather and ocean conditions, ensuring the safest and most enjoyable experience possible. Back on the boat, we will enjoy delicious snacks to wrap up the adventure.
