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. We will spend two weeks voyaging around these two islands interacting with the local flora and fauna. You will be responsible for arranging your own air fare. You should arrive in Cabo San Lucas no later than the 1st of December and depart Puerto Vallarta any time after the 13th of December.
