Overview

You simply CANNOT miss this! If you & your family are ocean lovers, then this is the day trip from Cabo San Lucas that you would be so sad to miss.

During April-June, Baja Sur hosts an incredible mobula ray aggregation. They travel in 'fevers' of hundreds and thousands; from La Paz down the the Pacific Ocean, in summer. La Ventana is the hot spot of mobula activity, and has a secluded charm that you might have seen of Cabo 30 years ago.

If we find Mobula Rays, they will be launching themselves high out of the water in an acrobatic display. We will jump in & swim with up to a thousand individuals all cruising around together. Sometimes they are close enough for a photo!

But the best bit? It’s possible to also see Orcas, sperm whales, blue whales (many whales, actually!) whalesharks, or swim with wild dolphins. We will picnic at a reef near a sea lion colony.

Nature is everywhere! No specific wildlife is guaranteed! But come and enjpy the day with our expert and experienced crew!

Gratuities

What to expect

Yes it's an early start! We want to arrive in magical La Ventana with the sunrise to optimise conditions and wildlife encounters!

We leave CSL at 5.30 in our van, where we provide a breakfast pack and/or stop after 1.5 hours for bathroom and optional takeaway. Total travel time one-way is about 2.5 hours.

We meet the 28' panga boat directly at the beach where we board the boat in ankle deep water: basic mobility for this is required - bring flipflops!

We search for the wildlife for 5-6 hours. April-June is mobula ray season, summer is all about dolphins! Maybe also Orcas and Whales! We have a shallow reef with sealions for nervous swimmers which can be as stunning as the megafauna! Well.. almost!

We provide a picnic before heading in to shore.

We arrive back in Cabo around 4pm.

This activity is GREAT for kids 5 years + and anyone else with a sense of adventure who is comfortable in snorkeling gear. Passengers will need to prepare to get wet at least once (and climb a basic ladder) as there is no bathroom onboard. The boat is equipped with life jackets, first aid, shade and seating - and an expert local captain! Guides are rescue diver qualified as a minimum.
