MOBULA RAY EXPEDITION

Join us on this 5 day Mobula Ray Expedition! Every year, tens of thousands of Mobula Rays come to visit Baja California from May to July. The largest schools in the World can be found here in Baja, and it’s one of nature’s most spectacular events. Mobulas are famous for their high jumps and acrobatics in the air. Freediving with hundreds or thousands of them is a unique experience that you can’t miss.

If you want to increase your chances of seeing and having more unexpected but amazing interactions underwater, the more days you spend the better your chances. That’s why we have created this Mobula Ray Expedition. In total 5 days, 3 longer days in the water, we’ll maximize our time out and go to our secrets spots where we have seen bigger aggregations of thousands of Mobulas. While mobulas are the main species, we often see dolphins, turtles, sometimes sharks, and if you’re in luck, even orcas.
