As a PADI 5 Star Eco Dive Center, we want to encourage animal lovers away from swimming with dolphins in captivity by joining a regulated tour to see them in their natural environment. This would be a great family outing! We regularly see them from the surface and, for the more adventurous, we can often see them while snorkeling in the open ocean.
Did you know? You will spend a similar amount of money at a dolphinarium (after purchasing photos) as you will on this tour! We will likely encounter lots of other amazing animals in this nature hotspot of Baja Sur.
You might get the jackpot and see Orca, whales, mobulas, as well as the dolphins! Not to mention we take you snorkeling on some secluded reefs and a small sea lion colony.
This is unlike any other tour in Cabo. If you're a family looking to do something extraordinary off the beaten track, at one of Baja's best-kept secret locations... this is it! Suitable for young kids who don't mind a long car journey!

Would recommend 10/10 !
The most incredible experience with Cabo Private Guide and the team. We did 3 days diving (my gf and I), the kids got initiated with the bubble maker and they snorkelled A LOT. We also took the sea safari day. My friends did their DSD.
We can’t explain with enough words everything that we have seen and felt during those times.
Diego thanks for your smile and courtesy. We felt welcomed and you answered all our questions.
Javi thanks for all your great tips on marine life. And your super reassuring vibe.
Julio, the black shark, well again not enough words to say how thankful we are and that you shared so much of your experience with us. You are a GREAT guide. We will Always be grateful ;)
And at last Morgane. Not only you took care of the kids during their bubble maker but you took care of them like it was your family and they really felt safe around you. Merci! Having someone that speaks french made a total difference for the kids.
Big thanks to Florent also for stepping in on our last day.
Many thanks also for your flexibility through out the trip as we have booked primary just for one day diving and the sea safari. And we ended up adding 2 more days with you guys. Just tell you how much we would recommend Cabo Private Guide ;)
For anyone that really wants a personalized experience with people that treats you like their own, you HAVE to book with Cabo Private Guide. Cheers and hope to come back soon !

Fantastic private Dolphin and Mobula Ray trip for all the family.
The first thing I liked about Cabo Private Guide's Wild Dolphin and Mobula Ray Safari was it was just that - Private with just our family and the guides on the boat. Once again Cabo Private Guide provided the perfect experience. Loads of dolphins which the kids found really exciting as they were very active close to the boat and made lots of noises (as did the kids!). The guide was excellent, enthusiastic and able to talk to adults and children alike and included lots of info about the local ecosystem and wildlife. The mobula rays were another highlight, especially when they started jumping. This is a great tour which I fully recommend and made even better by the intimate, private setting. A super experience and we'll be back the next time we're in Cabo!

Our guides love what they do, and it's great to hear their enthusiasm and knowledge added to the adventure for both adults and kids.

A fabulous day
If you're looking for the ultimate marine wildlife adventure, look no further than the Wild Dolphin and Mobula Ray Safari in La Ventana Cerralvo with Cabo Private Guide! From start to finish, this private tour was a dream come true. Our guide was an expert in the area, providing fascinating insights into the behaviors of the dolphins, rays, and other local wildlife. We had numerous encounters with playful wild dolphins that swam right up to our boat, and we even saw a massive school of mobula rays performing acrobatic jumps out of the water. The whole day felt like a magical journey through the waters of La Ventana. With small groups and personalized attention, this safari was worth every penny. A must-do for any nature lover or wildlife enthusiast!

Amazing Wild Dolphin and Mobil Ray experience!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute Must-Do!
Our private Wild Dolphin and Mobula Ray Safari with Cabo Private Guide was an absolute dream! The experience was everything we hoped for and more. Our guide was exceptional—so knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and wildlife, and their enthusiasm made the trip even more enjoyable. We had multiple dolphin sightings, some so close we could hear them splashing in the water! The mobula rays were another highlight, gliding gracefully beneath the surface in large schools. It felt like we were in a National Geographic documentary! I couldn’t recommend this tour enough—it’s the perfect way to experience La Ventana Cerralvo's rich marine life in an intimate, private setting. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Operator response
