Join an expedition to La Ventana, which is 2.5 hours from Cabo. and search for mobula rays & orca whales by private boat. During the months of June and July, there will be a much higher sighting rates of Orca; last season we saw 15-30 per trip. We will spend 8 hours a day at sea, where we will potentially see, thousands of mobula rays, blue whales, fin whales, sperm whales, with our main focus being the orcas. June & July in La Ventana also offers a great opportunity for kayaking, swimming, e-foiling, and much more, as the ocean tends to be incredibly flat! Accommodations in lovely beach houses.
