Mobula Ray and Ocean Safari Day Trip
Overview
During April-June we are witnesses to the incredible mobula ray aggregation here in Baja. They travel in 'fevers' or ‘squadrons’ of hundreds and thousands between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean. We will witness individuals launching themselves far out of the water in an acrobatic display of communication. Once in the water we see the HUGE squadron of thousands of individuals cruising around together. Join our open-ocean day safari to Cerralvo Island (Jacques Cousteau Island); a more secluded area of Baja Sur where you can spend a day away from busy Cabo enjoying the unique and stunning mobula ray encounter. And it’s not just the mobula rays! It’s possible to also see Orcas, sperm whales, whale sharks and swim with wild dolphins.

What To Expect
We pick you up in the day trip transportation. We will drive for 1.5 hours to road stop restaurant breakfast and bathroom break (all dietary requirements catered for).
We arrive in La Ventana once hour after that and meet the panga boat directly at the beach. Snorkelers board the boat over the side from the beach/shallow water and so basic mobility for this is required.
Once in the boat we search for the wildlife for anything between 4-6 hours. We picnic on the boat before heading in to shore. We stop for bathroom breaks on the way back to Cabo and there is also an option to purchase take-out snacks and drinks if you wish.

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All City Boat Tours snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on City Boat Tours tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use.
