The southern coast of baja is one of the richest places on earth for marine wildlife and Cabo San Lucas, located at the southernmost tip on the Baja peninsula is one of the best places in the world for pelagic shark encounters.
While there are sharks in the area all year round, the spring is when we have the most Mako and Blue shark sightings. These are the sharks we will be searching for.
Mako and Blue sharks are two of the most beautiful sharks to see, both are found in tropical - temperate waters worldwide. Blue Sharks are one of the most widely spread shark species in the world, for this reason they are also one of the most fished sharks. They are elegant in their appearance and movements with beautiful blue ventral surfaces and long pectoral fins, and their large expressive eyes are their most charming feature. The Shortfin Mako is a Mackerel shark and is considered endangered in the IUCN RED LIST. It is the fastest shark in the ocean, reaching speed bursts of 80 kph. They have a spectacular torpedo shaped body shimmering in shades of blue and purple with a pointy snout and large dark eyes. Both these sharks are not often encountered by humans and are usually just as curios about us as we are of them. They are a marvelous example of the genius and perfection of evolution and it is an honor to share the water with them.
