Ocean Safari in La Ventana: Mobula Rays, Dolphins, Orcas...

The adventure begins at 8 am in La Ventana, a village 40 minutes away from La Paz 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, usually around Cerralvo Island. Get ready to swim with huge schools of mobulas, do snorkel with dolphins, and maybe even spot some whales also. With some luck, you will enjoy an unforgettable day! As we encounter sea life during the navigation, we will jump in the water to swim with the animals whenever possible, without harassing them, because, as every nature lover will agree, our goal is to have soul-enriching experiences without altering the behavior of the animals. At some point during the day, we will stop to have lunch on the boat or at the beach (if the group prefers that). We will return to coast at around 1 pm. This is an outdoor expedition focused on searching for marine life. Each day is unique, and nature is unpredictable; nothing can be guaranteed. Please note that we do not engage in the harassment of wildlife, and we always follow the best practices established by locals. 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.

MTA was an absolutely professional company to work with. The communication leading up to the excursion was great, our guide was a knowledgeable biologist that was very interactive, and the boat and captain was fantastic. The food for lunch was very good. We saw a baby grey whale, several groups of humpback whales and a pod of common dolphins. Unfortunately we did not manage to free dive with any animals, however the day could not have been better! Our trip was a great value, and I would highly recommend MTA for any excursion.

The entire experience, from start to finish, was absolutely perfect. We saw many mobula rays, dolphins, and sea lions. The guide did everything to ensure we had a great trip. He kept us informed and made sure we were safe.

Fabulous morning with Matteo. We saw a couple of pods of dolphins, rays, turtles, a blue whale and a mother and baby humpback. The humpbacks were so entertaining, the baby was playing right in front of the boat.
