Cabo Pulmo & La Ventana Expedition | Diving & Ocean Safaris
La Ventana
Description
Embark on one of the most complete marine adventures in the Sea of Cortez. In 5 days, you’ll explore two incredible sanctuaries: Cabo Pulmo National Park —a thriving coral reef— and the open waters of La Ventana, a seasonal hotspot for mobulas and ocean giants.
Starting in La Paz, you’ll enjoy seamless private transportation throughout the entire trip, traveling in comfort from the moment we pick you up to the day we return.
Spend a night in Cabo Pulmo and dive its vibrant reef teeming with jackfish, turtles, and sharks. Then head to La Ventana for two full days of Ocean Safari, tracking mobulas, dolphins, whales, whale sharks, and —if luck allows— orcas.
Rest by the sea, guided by experts and fully supported by Gluup, so you can simply keep your mask and fins ready for action.

Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in La Paz and transfer to Cabo Pulmo
We’ll pick you up from the airport or your hotel in La Paz before 2 pm. Transport to Cabo Pulmo, where you’ll check into the cabins. In the evening, we meet for a welcome dinner to connect as a group with your Gluup coordinator and go over the expedition plan. Rest.
Day 2: Diving in Cabo Pulmo, local lunch and stop at Sol de Mayo waterfalls on the way to La Ventana
Light breakfast on board, followed by two dives in Cabo Pulmo National Park, a thriving reef full of life. After diving, lunch in Cabo Pulmo. On our way to La Ventana, we’ll make an optional stop —up to two hours— at the beautiful waterfalls of Sol de Mayo eco-ranch, a natural oasis perfect for a refreshing swim. Once in La Ventana, we check into the hotel and enjoy a free afternoon.
Days 3 and 4: Ocean Safari in La Ventana
Each morning begins with a light breakfast on the boat. We’ll then head out for 6 to 7 hours of open-water marine tracking. There’s no set route — we follow nature’s cues: mobulas, dolphins, whales and —if luck allows— orcas. Evenings are free to relax or explore the town.

Very responsive on what’sapp and gave clear information on the tour and how to get there. The place is very pretty! The tour guide and the boat captain were friendly. We had 4 stops in our snorkel tour as planned. Visibility was not great , but it was still amazing. I hope to go back for scuba diving one day. I also liked that they keep things real: (1) do not try to sell things that may not happen (due to nature), (2) they do not put additional fees - what they tell you is what you pay (very different than other tours I have seen around Los Cabos) One point to highlight is that the boat is small, so if the ocean is rough it may not be the best for people that get sea sickness.
