Hidden deep in the heart of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula lies a magical place. An incredible area tucked away on the Pacific Ocean far away from all the hustle and bustle of the packed tourist resorts and big cities in the south. Imagine visiting a bay filled with such abundant life that it has become an inside secret for pro photographers and Nat Geo explorers. An area that one of the worlds few grey whale populations call home every winter. Picture a beautiful bay surrounded by small mountainous islands above the waterline and packed with makos, blue sharks, sail fish, dolphins, sea lions, whales, 1000’s of sea birds and so much more. This is Bahia Magdalena. And it gets even better…Every autumn giant bait balls congregate miles off shore from the bay creating one of this planets most amazing spectacles, and well kept secrets – the Striped Marlin migration. These super fish, some of the fastest and most agile in the ocean, work together pushing the bait balls to the surface before shooting into them to hunt. Imagine being in the water with upwards of 30+ striped marlin around you at once, accepting you into their community as they work together with sea lions, whales, and others to hunt the bait balls. This is Baja Californias secret sardine run.
