About this experience
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 !
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your heartfelt message! It was a true pleasure to share these unforgettable moments with your family and friends — from diving to snorkeling to the Sea Safari. We’re especially happy the kids felt safe and cared for, and that our team made your experience so special. Your kind words mean the world to us 🙏 We truly hope to welcome you again soon for more adventures beneath the surface! 🌊💙 — The Cabo Private Guide Team

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!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your family had such a memorable time on the Wild Dolphin and Mobula Ray Safari. It means a lot to know the private setting made the experience even more special for you all—and we're so glad the dolphins and jumping mobula rays put on a show! 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. We truly appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back next time you're in Cabo!

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!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing review! We're so glad your La Ventana safari felt like a magical adventure—from playful dolphins to the spectacular mobula ray jumps. Our guides love sharing this incredible wildlife experience, and it's great to hear it made such an impact. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon!

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!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-stars review! We're thrilled to hear that your Wild Dolphin and Mobula Ray Safari exceeded expectations. It's always our goal to create unforgettable, intimate wildlife experiences, and we're so glad you enjoyed the close dolphin encounters and the stunning mobula rays. Your kind words mean a lot to our team—we’d love to welcome you back to La Ventana Cerralvo someday!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $295 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Cabos is not rushed.
Is Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Cabos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Wild Dolphin Encounter Day Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Cabos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Los Cabos?
+
On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Los Cabos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Los Cabos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
