Sardine Run experience in Magdalena Bay, where you'll witness one of nature's most incredible spectacles. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure brings you face-to-face with massive bait balls of sardines, attracting a breathtaking array of marine predators like sea lions, sharks, and even the majestic humpback whales. Our skilled guides will ensure you are right in the action while providing safe and sustainable practices to protect the delicate balance of this marine wonder. With top-notch gear and our comfortable boats, you're guaranteed an unforgettable journey into the heart of ocean wildlife.
The mission? To witness the epic mobula ray migration in La Ventana—thousands of rays leaping from the sea in synchronized flight. Dive in and find yourself surrounded by these winged wonders, alongside dolphins, sea lions, manta rays, and even whale sharks in one of Baja’s richest marine corridors.
After a day of ocean thrills, retreat to your beachside hotel to unwind under a canvas of stars. Each evening, we share stories of the day’s wild encounters over a delicious dinner.
Beyond the waves, explore vibrant mangroves, kayak crystal shallows, and hike the rugged coast. La Ventana is a gateway to Baja’s untamed beauty and marine magic.
