Mobula & Megafauna Trip

Baja California Sur is a magical place where the ocean is still wild and full of life.

This expedition has been created to take you further and deeper into the ocean for the chance of encountering some of the ocean’s most spectacular creatures. We will be based in La Ventana, a small town in the Sea of Cortez facing the majestic Isla Cerralvo. Between the peninsula and the island runs a deep canyon that, during the summer months, is full of food and thus pelagic activity.

We will be focusing on searching for the epic Mobula Munkiana aggregations as well as the many pelagic animals that pass through this area.

This trip is designed as an ocean exploration trip. We will be land-based in a 3-star hotel right on the bay, where we can watch Baja’s stunning sunrises and sunsets while listening to the lapping waves and slapping of Mobulas Jumping.

We set out early every morning for long days on the ocean. The boats we use are panga-style, with plenty of shade and a sturdy ladder. On the boat, we will have a cooler with water and drinks, snacks, fruit, and burritos for lunch.

During our trips, we sometimes go more than 30. miles offshore, it is important to be comfortable with long days on the boat

At the end of the day, we will be back to the hotel to relax and shower and then head as a group to dinner in town at a local restaurant and an early night sleep ready for the next day of adventures.

We have the possibility of encountering Giant schools of Mobulas, super pods of dolphins, blue whales, bryde’s whales, fin whales the elusive Orcas, large female whale sharks, sealions and many other pelagic animals.

We never know what the ocean will bring. We will set off every day with high hopes of amazing encounters.

A trip for a true adventurer, come for the unique wilderness of this ocean and try your luck at encountering some of the ocean’s most incredible animals.

Please note there is no guarantee we will find Orcas on this trip. While we hope we do, these animals are highly intelligent and unpredictable, if you are joining only in the hopes of swimming with orcas, THIS IS NOT THE TRIP FOR YOU.
