Cerralvo Island – Open Ocean Safari | Reef Snorkeling
A spectacular display of nature happens every year in April – June in a secluded beach town accessible from Los Cabos by only a 2.5 hour drive. At Cerralvo (or.. ´Jacques Cousteau´) Island huge groups of small Manta rays congregate in their hundreds of thousands and swim near the surface so we can cruise along with them and enjoy their beauty. Out side of spring time mobula season (summer and Autumn), the area is full of whales, orca, rays, dolphins and more! The shallow reefs are beautiful to visit when the big life is hiding!
Not recomended to book Dec – March because of wind.

Discover the Mobula ray aggregation in Baja California
The mobula ray aggregation is so spectacular it has been documented by National Geographic and the BBC Blue Planet. Huge fevers of Mobula Munkiana devil ray peak in number in this part of The Sea of Cortez in late April and May. The nearby nursery grounds of Espiritu Santo Island in La Paz mean they travel here first before heading down to San Lucas in June and July. Until now, Cabo Private Guide has been enjoying their late-summer encounter with mobula from Cabo San Lucas with guests for a number of years.
Swim with Mobula ray in Jacques Cousteau Island (Cerralvo Island)
As a bespoke boutique adventure snorkeling company, we have now decided to offer this bucket-list open-ocean day safari to Jacques Cousteau Island (Cerralvo Island); a more secluded area of Baja Sur where you can spend a day away from busy Cabo enjoying this unique and stunning wildlife 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.
