Mobula Ray Expeditions - 5 days / 4 nights

Every year, tens of thousands of mobula rays visit the coastlines of the Sea of Cortez in Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. The congregations of rays are one of the most incredible natural spectacles on our planet – and the largest in the world too.

An event so stunning that it has been featured in BBC’s Blue Planet and in numerous National Geographic documentaries.

Imagine diving down into a school of thousands of these beautiful creatures as they soar through the ocean. Witnessing their acrobatics as they jump from the water by the hundreds. Or snorkeling above the massive schools as they glide effortlessly through the water in unison.

Prepare for front row seats to your own wildlife documentary. Our special mobula ray migration expeditions not only put you right in the heart of the action but let’s you learn more about important research being done on these amazing creatures.

This is your chance to help make a difference and protect our oceans while bearing witness to one of the most incredible natural wonders on earth with your own eyes.

Our expeditions will begin in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico at the Dive Ninja Expeditions HQ. After check-in you’ll be transferred in our air conditioned transport van to your accommodation in a place so special we can only call it our ‘secret ninja spot’.

Team Ninja have spent endless amounts of time scouting and exploring the length of Baja to find the best place to experience these gigantic schools! Now it’s your chance to see it with your own eyes, so get ready for the experience of a lifetime. 

Once everyone is settled in we'll meet for our first presentations then indulge on our first chef prepared dinner of the trip.

The next morning, as the warm sun rises over Jacques Cousteau Island, we’ll head out for our first in-water experience, a full morning adventure exploring the area. After a few hours of action exploring the area we’ll pause for a snack break onboard. Then get ready to continue out on the ocean for more chances to get in the water with the jaw dropping schools of mobula rays and anything else that we are lucky enough to find!

While out on the ocean we’ll also be looking for sea lions, giant devil rays, whales, mantas, pods of dolphins, and many more incredible inhabitants that call these waters home.

The days will be pretty full on as we search for different schools discovering this incredible natural spectacle.

We’ll spend each of the ocean days swimming, snorkeling, & freediving while out searching for different schools and all the wonders this special area offers.

Then the next days we’ll be back at it again and again for the rest of the expedition. On the final day of the trip we'll head back to the Ninja HQ in Cabo San Lucas after breakfast.

We know there are many different kinds of tour operators out there. Some are doing amazing work to help protect their local environment, while others are more concerned with making money by bleeding these same areas dry. 

At Dive Ninjas our goal is to set the bar higher. We believe that by trying to create a higher standard in dive tourism the rest of the industry will begin to follow suite. Here are a few of the things we do to help support our oceans, their inhabitants, and the precious ecosystems we all live in.

Our captains for this trip are ex local fisherman that have converted to working purely in marine research and eco-tourism. These ninjas are living proof of the amazing things eco-tourism can accomplish. They have grown an unrivaled passion for the ocean and know the waters around this area unlike any other.

Each trip will have an expert Team Ninja guide working alongside our special guests to teach you about this breathtaking area in the beautiful Sea of Cortez and keeping everyone safe and enjoying themselves.

Your home for the week is a picturesque private beachfront property with spectacular views and all the comforts of home— Air conditioning, WiFi, Satellite TV, patios with lounge chairs & hammocks to unwind while taking in the ocean breeze, and so much more.

The gorgeous Sea of Cortez is only a few steps across a white sand beach from your door.  And best of all it's located on the edge of a small fishing town, far away from the hoards of tourists and big cities creating a unique experience to really enjoy the natural beauty of Baja.

The nearest airport is Los Cabos International Airport (airport code SJD).  Los Cabos International is also known as San Jose del Cabo International Airport by some airlines.

We recommend arriving a day early to give you some time to relax and a little padding in case of any travel delays. Easy direct flights can be found from many cities in the US and Mexico. From the US flights are quite cheap – especially from the west coast and southwest US.

From Europe flights usually include a layover in the southwest US or Mexico City. If transiting through the US please check in advance to see if you will need a US transit visa.

Our reservations team can help set up a transfer from the airport to the Dive Ninja HQ for you.  Los Cabos airport is serviced daily with domestic & international flights.

Since you will be visiting us at our home in Baja California there are numerous options to add on local diving and activities in Los Cabos and the surrounding areas before and after your expedition.

Give us a shout and we can set up add-on packages to extend your trip to Baja.
