Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our La Ventana Ocean Safari, located in the enchanting Sea of Cortez in Baja California Sur, Mexico. This marine haven, often referred to as the "Aquarium of the World," offers a unique opportunity to encounter and interact with a diverse array of marine life rivaling that of the Galapagos islands!
Every year, tens of thousands of mobula rays visit the coastlines of the Sea of Cortez, creating one of the most incredible natural spectacles on our planet. While out on the ocean, we’ll also be looking for sea lions, spine tail devil rays, oceanic mantas, pods of dolphins, and many more incredible inhabitants that call these waters home. Each trip will have an expert guide working to teach you about this breathtaking area in the beautiful Sea of Cortez while ensuring everyone’s safety and enjoyment.
Whether you're a seasoned diver or a first-time snorkeler, our eco-conscious approach ensures a safe and awe-inspiring journey into the heart of one of the world's most biodiverse marine environments. With only 5 to 7 spaces available per trip, you'll enjoy an intimate and personalized experience. Join us for a La Ventana Ocean Safari and witness the wonders of the Sea of Cortez like never before.
