Latitude Encounters

Latitude Encounters is a marine wildlife expedition company offering immersive adventures in Baja California Sur, Mexico, and other destinations including Dominica. Its trips are designed for explorers seeking close, respectful encounters with ocean wildlife and the marine environments these animals inhabit. The range includes one-day adventures, marine and shark safaris, whale watching, and offshore wildlife expeditions. Featured experiences include encounters with silky, mako, and blue sharks; humpback, gray, and blue whales; mobula rays and other pelagic species; and sperm whales off Dominica. Trips also explore La Ventana and Magdalena Bay, where seasonal migrations and abundant sardines attract marine life.

The company emphasizes wildlife-first practices, environmental responsibility, and meaningful connections with nature. Its team uses citizen science on trips to support marine research and conservation, limits single-use waste, collects floating refuse, and includes members trained in animal rescue techniques. Latitude Encounters also works closely with local captains and their families, valuing their expertise and supporting dignified work, fair pay, and professional development.
