Striped Marlin & Sardine Migration

October- December

Striped Marlin & Sardine Migration

Immerse yourself in one of the ocean's most thrilling spectacles off the coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico, during the fleeting Magdalena Bay sardine run and striped marlin migration. Experience a truly rare and exhilarating event where thousands of striped marlin converge to feast on massive sardine bait balls in the pristine Pacific waters near Bahia Magdalena.

This natural wonder attracts a dazzling array of marine life, including Bryde’s whales, humpback whales, orcas, sailfish, makos, blue sharks, tuna, dolphins, sea lions, and thousands of sea birds. To escape the usual tourist trails, embark on a local fisherman's panga for an intimate and authentic encounter with this marine frenzy.

Feel the thrill of jumping into the water to witness over 30 striped marlin attacking a sardine bait ball up close. This is not just a boat ride—it's an immersive adventure that offers you a front-row seat to a real-life nature documentary. With each day bringing new excitement and surprises, this adventure promises an unforgettable experience in one of the world’s most dynamic and vibrant ocean ecosystems.
