The Sea Of Cortez scenery once called “The Aquarium of the world” has an abundance of species and a breathtaking scenery, both topside and underwater.

During the summer months in the Sea of Cortez we can witness a magnificent migration. Schooling mobulas aggregate in hundreds or even thousands.

This is a rich wildlife area, where you can find different species during our expedition. We can encounter dolphins, whales, whale sharks and sea lions to name a few.. Anything can happen in this pelagic playground. Although there are no guarantees this has been a good time in the past to see orca pods.

It was extraordinary precious experience I had in Austral island with Henley and nomad.The island was so beautiful place and nature was so incredible. Ocean was great action with whales in natural habitat.There was no competition with other operators were fantastic and very important to keep no stress to whale which I loved it that way.The resort was great! All facilities were very good, bed was comfortable,foods were good,warm shower,drinkable tap water.All hospitality was fantastic.Henley and Nomad expedition was really great and Henley and both Pancha and Chris were so helpful and entertaining all guests to make them happy and enjoying every single moment. I loved it everything what I spent moments with them in island.

I had such an incredible experience on this trip - well organized, incredible whale encounters, fun group, perfect way to explore this part of the world. They also really understand the needs of photographers and cater well to helping you get the best shots possible while in and out of the water. I highly recommend this tour company and will definitely join them for another adventure in the future.

Nomad (Chris and Poncha) always does an impeccable job organizing trips that combine adventure and rare experiences with attention to detail and making sure guests are comfortable and enjoying themselves. This wasn't my first expedition with them and won't be the last!

I've been with many expedition companies before and this one is top notch. We requested a private expedition to have an attempt to be able to see the orcas. They were very accommodating with our request and patient with our questions. The casita we stayed in was fantastic and convenient. Directions were clear. For the expedition itself, we had 2 days on the water. The first day, we immediately found a large, friendly fever of mobula rays. The captain was very attentive and navigated us so we could get into the water with them and also for us to take good topside photos of when they were jumping. On the 2nd day, they got reports that orcas were spotted way south so we went far south and finally found the orcas and had a great, long, and private encounter with a pod of 3 orcas including a baby. The captain somehow spotted 2 mating turtles also from very far away. The company is also very conscious about environmentalism and having respectful interactions with the sea life. I cannot say enough great things about the owners, Irena and Chris. I look forward to doing another adventure with them again in the near future!
