Cabo to La Ventana Ray Snorkeling Tour: Discover the Mysteries of Mobula Rays

Little is known about the fascinating Mobula Rays, scientifically named Mobula Munkiana or Munk’s Devil Rays. Each year, tens of thousands of these rays migrate into the Sea of Cortez during spring/summer (April-July) and autumn/winter (November-January). These acrobatic rays grace the shores of Baja California Sur as they follow the plankton and nutrients in the water.

While they are the smaller version of the famous Manta Rays, snorkelers and freedivers have the unique opportunity to witness these gigantic schools during the Cabo to La Ventana Ray Snorkeling Tour. It is believed that Mobula Rays return each year for mating and reproduction. Generally peaceful and harmless, they are usually shy and tend to keep their distance from observers.
