An Expedition for Mobula rays, or an excursion In Search of Giant Mantas, is a perfect way to immerse yourself in the beauty and majesty of these incredible marine creatures. Both these wonderful, majestic rays are safe with humans.
Your adventure combines wildlife exploration within the comfort and privacy of a large and spacious sailing catamaran or an even larger 96’ classic yacht. You’ll be cruising to some of the best spots in the Sea of Cortez where these magnificent rays congregate. Everything is included, ground transportation, chef, hostess, meals, beverages, an open bar, kayaks, a snorkel boat with licensed guide. Activities include snorkeling with tropical fish over corals, swimming with sea lions, visiting remote island beaches, interacting with marine life, and enjoying beautiful vistas of the surrounding islands.
The Giant Manta is a mystical and illusive creature. Impressive up close, and obviously intelligent. Their fun relatives, the Mobula rays, are the ones that love to jump out of the water making a large smacking sound as they belly-flop the ocean surface. Both convey a sense of serenity as they move smoothly through ocean shallows covering large oceanic swathes filtering tropical seas for plankton and small fish.
The tour focus is determined by each season’s date, i.e. Expedition for Mobula Rays is April – July, In Search of Giant Mantas is August – November. Both ray expeditions provide an incredible and unparalleled adventure. The Sea of Cortez, often referred to as the "Aquarium of the World," is renowned for its biodiversity and rich marine life, including these magnificent creatures.
