Overview

La Ventana is traditionally known as one of the best sites in the world for kite surfing. However, in recent years, this amazing place has become popular along with Cerralvo Island (also known as Jacques Cousteau Island), for its Mobula ray abundance during the months of March-June, and for its whales and dolphins transit. These conditions have resulted in frequent orca encounters, as they feed on Mobulas.

July to December is also a great time to do this adventure since water temperature and visibility will make this day an amazing adventure. During the winter, whales transit in between the coast and the island, which serves as another great opportunity to encounter amazing marine life.

To sum it up, La Ventana and Cerralvo Island are a magical place where anything can happen during our ocean safaris.

The experience offers several options. This price includes:

La Paz Ocean Safari: Mobula Rays, Dolphins, Orcas & Whales
Open Ocean Safari in "La Paz": La Paz is internationally recognized for its rich marine biodiversity and proximity to Espiritu Santo Island, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. While traditionally known for sea lion colonies and whale shark sightings, in recent years this region has also become a prime location for Mobula ray aggregations between March and June. These spectacular gatherings attract predators like dolphins, whales, and occasionally orcas, which feed on the Mobulas.

From July to December, the adventure continues with warm water and excellent visibility, perfect for snorkeling and wildlife encounters. During the winter months, migrating whales can often be seen traveling along the coast or in the channel between La Paz and Espiritu Santo Island.

In short, La Paz and Espiritu Santo Island offer the perfect starting point for an ocean safari where anything can happen. From massive schools of rays to unexpected orca sightings, every outing is a chance to witness the magic of the Sea of Cortez.

We will sail in our panga boat looking for all the marine life that the ocean want to gives us.

Get ready to swim with huge schools of mobulas, do snorkel with dolphins and killer whales, and see whales also. With some luck, you will enjoy an unforgettable day! Orca sightings have become more frequent but are not a daily common sighting.

This is an outdoor expedition focused on searching for marine life. Each day is unique and nature is nature, nothing can be guaranteed. Please note we don’t engage in harassment of wildlife.

The activity is suitable for anyone who wants to enjoy marine wildlife watching from the boat. However, those wishing to swim with the animals must be in good physical condition, able to get in and out of the water from the panga quickly, and comfortable swimming on their own in the ocean without direct assistance from the guide. You don’t need to be an expert swimmer, but you should feel confident in the water.
