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.
Duration: 5 hours
Included: Veggie options available
La Ventana Ocean Safari: Mobula Rays, Dolphins, Orcas & Whales
Open Ocean Safari in “La Ventana”: 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.
