BAJA ORCAS AND MOBULAS EXPEDITIONSea of Cortez, California

Ready to add some *wow* to your whale watching? We recently covered Majestic Whale Encounters 2025 lineup, but even we couldn’t predict the level these legends would take it to in 2026.

Yes, they’re a little eager, but when you’re sitting on a tour as cool as the 7-day Baja Orcas and Mobulas expedition, we understand the impatience. And it is cool. Like, grab-your-sunnies cool because this tour is going to be bright, bold and totally unforgettable.

Imagine cruising the waters of the Sea of Cortez, where you’ll come face to face with the ocean’s most badass predators – orcas. These aren’t your average flippered friends; these orcas are as wild as they come, putting on a show that’ll have you questioning why Majestic Whale Encounters didn’t have this expedition in their lineup sooner. You might even witness a pod teaming up for an epic hunt (nature’s version of a high-speed chase).

You’ll also search for seals, playful dolphin pods, turtles, false killer whales, whale sharks, big eye jacks (which are nothing to be sneezed at) and graceful mobulas, leaping out of the water in unison. And you’ll get to swim with them too.

Whether you’re a seasoned snorkeller or a first-timer, the clear waters off California’s coast will put you right at ease and you’ll be able to see these mesmerising beauties use their wings to glide together like they’re in a synchronised dance troupe.

You’ll do it all while enjoying the creature comforts that come with staying on a 116-foot expedition yacht, the ‘Galant Lady’. Say no more fam.
