San Benedicto and Socorro islands are two of the most remote islands in Mexico. These islands are located approximately 250 nautical miles south of Cabo San Lucas and 325 nautical miles west of Puerto Vallarta, with about 40 miles between the two. Mantas, wahoo, turtles, whales, schools of yellow fin tuna, many varieties of sharks, along with a myriad of other species can be observed.
