Cabo Trek, feel the difference!
Cabo Trek collaborates with a local ONG that is 100% dedicated to studying whale sharks. These marine biologists work out of passion and dedication to understand this majestic animal.
Cabo Trek offers tech support by supplying drone footage to study the animals behavior, in the specific we are trying to capture if human interaction causes the whale shark to change its course.
Whale Sharks are in this area every year from early October till March and an encounter is almost guaranteed: there is many of them so there is no need for more than 1 boat per whale shark, and we always find friendly ones willing to hang out with us for a while!
