Marine Safari on Cerralvo Island

Service Description

Amid the deep waters of the channel that separates La Ventana from Cerralvo Island—also known as Jacques Cousteau Island—unfolds a marine corridor teeming with life. This strait connects the Gulf of California with the Pacific and is home to spectacular biodiversity thanks to its nutrient-rich waters created by the area's ocean currents. Leaving Playa Central early in the morning, guided by curiosity and wonder, we'll begin a tour of approximately six hours where we'll observe impressive marine species in their natural habitat, such as playful dolphins, sea turtles, giant manta rays, and schools of multicolored fish. During certain seasons, you might even spot whales or imposing sharks on their migratory route. If nature allows, we might encounter the resident orca families. We don't force encounters. Here, everything happens when the sea decides. And that's precisely what makes this safari a unique experience: each outing is different, each moment a gift. More than a tour, this is an invitation to observe with humility, to learn from awe, and to be touched by the immensity of the sea and its biodiversity.
