Snorkeling with Mobulas in La Ventana Bay Round trip from La Paz
Overview
Swim alongside one of the largest aggregations of mobula rays on the planet, guided by marine science experts who provide real-time ecological insights. This experience combines close wildlife observation with meaningful scientific interpretation, highlighting the importance of emblematic species in the Sea of Cortez and their role in ocean ecosystems.
This marine safari offers participants the option to either enter the water and snorkel alongside these graceful animals or remain onboard to observe them from the surface—both equally breathtaking experiences.
In addition to mobula rays, the region offers the exciting possibility of encountering a variety of pelagic species in transit, such as whales, dolphins, sea lions, orcas, and even elusive beaked whales (ziphiids), making every outing a unique opportunity to witness the richness and dynamism of this marine corridor.

The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from City Boat Tours customers.
Filter by:
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. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023As an active member of the Dolphin SMART program, we do not have physical contact with the dolphins on Snorkeling with Mobulas in La Ventana Bay Round trip from La Paz. We watch them in their natural habitat from the boat.
Dec 2022First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
