Three Steps to Your Week With the Orcas
Choose your base
Both trips run the same expedition — the difference is where you sleep. Pick Casa Ola (a private beach house for 5 guests) or Palacio (luxury beach apartments for 6 guests).
Pick your week
Trips run Saturday to Saturday, May through August 2027. Each accommodation page shows live availability for every departure — some weeks are already full.
Reserve your spot
Prices are per person, based on two people sharing a room. Contact us to hold your week — or ask about taking a whole boat as a private group.
Two Homes, One Extraordinary Week
Every guest gets the same six days at sea with the same guides. Your choice is simply the style of beachfront living you come home to each evening.
Casa Ola
A luxury beachfront house all to your group: private pool, private gym, air conditioning in every room, and ocean views from your doorstep. The most intimate way to do this trip — just five guests on the boat.
Palacio
Luxury apartments steps from the water, with a shared pool and hot tub, air conditioning throughout, and ocean views. Six guests per boat for an intimate, immersive week.
Seven Days, at a Glance
| Saturday | Fly into San José del Cabo (SJD) airport, transfer to La Ventana, settle into your beachfront accommodation, then meet your guides for a briefing on the week ahead. |
|---|---|
| Sunday – Friday | Six full expedition days. Out with the sunrise, guided by daily scout reports — swimming with orcas when we find them, mobula rays and whatever else the Sea of Cortez sends our way in between. If we're on orcas, we stay out. |
| Saturday | Departure day — transfer back to San José del Cabo (SJD) airport and fly home with footage nobody will believe. |
Will You Definitely Swim With Orcas?
No operator can honestly promise that, and we won't. These are wild animals in a wild ocean. What we offer instead is the best odds available anywhere: a team that does nothing but this, scouts covering hundreds of square miles daily, boats with the range to reach distant sightings, and six full days to make it happen.
In 2025, 14 of our 16 weeks found orca.
