Swim with large schools of mobula rays and orcas in the Sea of Cortez



Our Orcas and Mobula Rays of Baja Photo Tour will allow you to swim with large schools of mobula rays, as well as provide you the chance to encounter and swim with orcas in the Sea of Cortez. Imagine being in the water near hundreds, if not thousands of munk's mobula rays as they school to filter feed. It is an experience you will never forget. Seeing and swimming with orcas, the apex predators of the area, is awe-inspiring and one we treat with the utmost care and respect. This tour is in the heart of the Gulf of California, where we have the chance to swim with over twenty different mammal species. Enjoy the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez as we encounter the megafauna of these beautiful seas.

Why we love this Orcas and Mobula Rays in Baja safari



This Orcas and Mobula Rays in Baja photo tour is designed to get you in the water with large schools of Mobula rays, with the chance to see orcas as they pursue them. This tour takes place during the peak migration time for the rays in the south western part of the Sea of Cortez, when thousands of the rays gather to form super schools. This maximizes our chances of seeing these large schools, which attract the local orca pods that hunt them. If we are lucky, we will have the chance to be in the water and swim with the orcas, an incredible experience as you watch the apex predator of the Sea of Cortez.

The Gulf of California is home to a staggering twenty three species of cetaceans, and we will keep our eye out for all of them. There is a good chance for us to see dolphins like the Common Dolphin, Pantropical Spotted Dolphin, and Common Bottlenose Dolphin. These dolphin species can often be found in large pods, even super pods, that have joined together as they pursue their prey. We will also look for the whales of the Sea of Cortez, including humpback whales and blue whales!

The Sea of Cortez is a haven for marine mammals, including pinnipeds like the California Sea Lions. These sea lions are often very curious, especially when you enter the water with them. It is an incredible experience as the sea lions check you out and to see them move effortlessly through the water, like ballerinas dancing through the air.

As we always believe in utilizing fantastic local guides, we have partnered with the Rocinante boat team. We will have exclusive use of the boat, allowing us to go where we want to go, and see the marine wildlife that we are interested in. To complete the experience we will learn about how fishing co-exists with ecotourism in the region, an essential fact to protecting the wildlife long term.
