The sardine run brings striped marlin and dorado to the surface at Magdalena Bay — a rare window to swim alongside them. You may also see sea lions, dolphins, turtles and humpback whales.
A full day's expedition on Magdalena Bay, on Baja's Pacific coast. Max 6 guests per boat, for a personalized, intimate experience.
Meet your guide in La Paz and depart by road for Puerto Chale, on Magdalena Bay on the Pacific side of the peninsula.
A few hours across the peninsula's desert landscape to reach Puerto Chale, where your boat and captain are waiting.
When the bait balls form, marlin and dorado corral sardines near the surface — your chance to get in the water alongside them.
The boat is equipped with an experienced captain, shade and seating for your comfort. A selection of food, drinks and natural water is provided throughout the day.
We generally return to the dock at Puerto Chale around midday, though return time can extend to 2 or 4 PM depending on the day's marine activity, followed by the road transfer back to La Paz. If conditions allow, we may extend the day to the dunes and a nearby beach.
