La Ventana is traditionally known as one of the best sites in the world for kite surfing. However, in recent years, this amazing place has become popular along with Cerralvo Island (also known as Jacques Cousteau Island), for its Mobula ray abundance during the months of March-June, and for its whales and dolphins transit. These conditions have resulted in frequent orca encounters, as they feed on Mobulas.

July to December is also a great time to do this adventure since water temperature and visibility will make this day an amazing adventure. During the winter, whales transit in between the coast and the island, which serves as another great opportunity to encounter amazing marine life.

To sum it up, La Ventana and Cerralvo Island are a magical place where anything can happen during our ocean safaris.

What to expect

The adventure begins in La Ventana and takes approximately 5 hours.

We will sail in our panga boat looking for all the marine life that the ocean want to gives us.

Get ready to swim with huge schools of mobulas, do snorkel with dolphins and killer whales, and see whales also. With some luck, you will enjoy an unforgettable day! Orca sightings have become more frequent but are not a daily common sighting.

This is an outdoor expedition focused on searching for marine life. Each day is unique and nature is nature, nothing can be guaranteed. Please note we don’t engage in harassment of wildlife.

The activity is suitable for anyone who wants to enjoy marine wildlife watching from the boat. However, those wishing to swim with the animals must be in good physical condition, able to get in and out of the water from the panga quickly, and comfortable swimming on their own in the ocean without direct assistance from the guide. You don’t need to be an expert swimmer, but you should feel confident in the water.
