Program
One epic adventure—mobulas, whales, dolphins, sea lions, and more, all in a single tour
Embark on the ultimate ocean safari in La Ventana, Baja California Sur! Swim with mobulas and other marine life. A journey through the mesmerizing waters of La Ventana Bay and Isla Cerralvo, designed to captivate adventurers of all ages and interests. Whether you're seeking a family-friendly activity, a serene escape, or an exclusive free diving and snorkeling experience, this tour promises unforgettable memories. Both snorkeling and free diving are included, so you can choose the adventure that suits you best.
Swim alongside majestic mobulas (also known as devil rays), whose wing-like fins and graceful movements create a magical encounter in the ocean. While you can spot mobulas year-round, their peak season is in May, offering an even greater chance to witness these spectacular creatures in large numbers.
Along the way, you may also encounter playful dolphins, curious sea lions, sea turtles, manta rays, and vibrant schools of tropical fish. Occasionally, nature treats us to encounters with sharks, marlin, and even orcas, especially when they are hunting mobulas—an unforgettable and rare sight.
The expert guides will lead you through the best snorkeling and free diving spots across La Ventana Bay and Isla Cerralvo. After your time in the water, relax on one of Isla Cerralvo’s pristine beaches.
Whether you're a family creating cherished memories, a couple looking for a peaceful escape, or a group of friends eager for adventure, the ocean safari offers the perfect blend of excitement, relaxation, and a deep connection to nature.
