DETAILS

From the 20th of January until the 10th of March, there is a migration of Sardines near Contoy Island (Cancun area), that migration brings big animals like dolphins and tunas, but the fish that love most those sardines are the very beautiful sailfish ! It is a mind blowing experience, the sailfish is the quickest fish of the ocean !

It is not an easy excursion because we spend a lot of time at sea searching, but once we found the baitball and got into the water, it is one of the most unbelievable underwater experience. It is a dream for any sea lover or photographer to watch those animal hunt.

The area also has high concentration of plancton (but the visibility is good) so it s quite possible to also find manta rays and whalesharks meanwhile we search for sailfish. Please note that there is no guarantee to find the wildlife but we will do everything possible to make it happen.
