Latest Government Regulations for Swimming with Wildlife 2025/6
– Snorkelling with Whale Sharks – The Mexican government closely regulates whale shark tourism in the Bay of La Paz. The season runs from October/November 15 (?) to April 30, but it may close and reopen during this time if there are a low number of whale sharks. Each year differs and in the past couple of years the season did not open until Nov. 15, The number of boats allowed in the area is determined by the number of whale sharks present. Additionally, there are three designated entry times for tours, and the specific entry time will be confirmed one day prior to the tour. Certified guides will share the natural history of the shark, instruct on safety regulations and accompany 5 guests in the water at a time, with each whale shark interaction lasting a maximum of 30 minutes.
– Snorkelling with Sea Lions – From June 1 – August 31 each year, the female sea lions are pupping. At this time, tourism is closed to swimming or diving at the main breeding grounds of Los Islotes. We can visit Los Islotes for viewing and move to another area outside of Los Islotes for snorkelling with sea lions, San Rafaelito. All other months, guests have the rare opportunity to snorkel with the California sea lion at their breeding grounds of Los Islotes or San Rafaelito.
