Shark Dive / Scuba Dive Combination Itinerary :

Guadalupe Island Shark Dive and Islas San Benito Scuba Dive
9 Days / 8 Nights

Guadalupe Island's annual great white shark migration is known world wide as the best opportunity to view and experience these animals in clear water. If this is not enough, after 3 days of sharks we will take you 150 miles east to the San Benito Islands.

San Benito is surrounded by giant kelp, "The Redwoods of the Pacific" and has been compared biologically to California's Channel Islands of 75 to 100 years ago! Temperate and Baja panamic species mix at this destination with three species of pinnipeds added in to provide additional viewing pleasure. Guadalupe fur seals have made the 150 mile trek across open sea and now call San Benito home along with California sea lions and northern elephant seals which are quite often in excess of 2000 pounds!

This itinerary will offer you an amazing opportunity to experience the world's best great white shark destination along with giant kelp forests and pinnipeds on the same adventure in one itinerary
