5.00The tour with Hamza was fantastic. We got very lucky with and were able to see some spectacular humpback whales and other wildlife, but Hamza and our captain's experience and expertise are what put us in that position. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone. The ceviche lunch was also excellent and very accommodating to vegetarians/vegans with lentil ceviche.
Fantastic Day With Marine Life and Friends

5.00We had such a lovely day with Hamza. He is knowledgeable about the marine life and the region. He is friendly and professional. First we found the mobulas, then a mama and baby humpback whale. We visited a colony of sea lions napping on the rocks and took a short hike on Isla Cerralvo. It was a great way to see and learn about some of the marine life as well as vegetation of the area. It was also just fun to be out on the water. I highly recommend!

5.00Great experience! The tour in the Sea of Cortez offers a great balance between maritime life watching, swimming and snorkeling and relaxing with nice food on the beach. Hamza guides and organizes the trips in a most professional manner, as a maritime biologist with a lot of experience and knowledge of the region and a pleasant company for a fun trip. We had plenty of humpies and several species of dolphins with crazy high jumps. Sea lions, pelicans, tropical fish ...I also welcomed a lot the easy and flawless communication with Hamza and his enjoyable personal engagement with me as a customer. Thanks Hamza!
Unforgettable 2-Day Ocean Safari

5.00We had an incredible 2-day ocean safari with Hamza as our guide! He was extremely organized, knowledgeable about marine life, and always quick to respond to questions. Each day, we spent around 7-9 hours at sea, and Hamza led us to amazing encounters with mobulas, mantas, dolphins, humpback whales, silky sharks, and sea lions. The biodiversity here is incredible—every day brought new surprises! What made it even better was the amount of time we got to spend swimming alongside these magnificent creatures. Highly recommend this experience for any ocean lover!
Unforgettable 3-Day Ocean Safari with Hamza

5.00We spent three incredible days on the Mobulas Safari and Wildlife tour with Hamza, and it was easily the most memorable part of our time in La Ventana. Our group of eight came with high expectations and they were exceeded on every front. Hamza, our guide and a marine biologist, brought so much depth to the experience. His knowledge, passion, and respect for marine life were evident in every moment, from our pre-dive briefings to his excitement spotting wildlife alongside us. Over the three days, we swam with massive schools of mobula rays, watched dolphins play at the bow, and even spotted mobula mobular — each day felt like a new adventure. The underwater encounters were breathtaking, and Hamza always made sure we were safe, comfortable, and aware of how to engage respectfully with nature.
