What is the Mexican Sardine Run?

From mid-October to early January, millions of sardines migrate in enormous schools, creating an impressive visual spectacle. During this journey, these sardine schools become a food source for a wide variety of marine predators, including dolphins, whales, manta rays, sharks, and even orcas. A fascinating journey that can be experienced on this expedition – a true feast for the senses!

Isla Magdalena awaits you with starry skies, breathtaking landscapes, and a marine biodiversity you won’t find anywhere else.
