Footage of an orca pod swimming through the Sea of Cortez. Peak season for marine megafauna encounters runs January through April.
November through July
The best time for marine wildlife encounters in the Sea of Cortez runs from November through July, with each month offering a different signature species. December through March is peak season for humpback whales returning from their Alaskan summer grounds, with sighting rates above 90% in protected waters near Cerralvo Island. January through April is prime orca season — pods of 4 to 12 individuals are commonly observed hunting mobula rays and dolphins. May through July brings massive mobula ray aggregations, often numbering in the thousands, alongside year-round residents like California sea lions, bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, and over 800 species of reef fish documented in the Gulf of California (Source: CONABIO, Mexico's National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity).
The great migration arrives. Mobula rays in massive schools, humpback whales breaching at sunrise, blue whales, grey whales, fin whales, and orcas hunting in the rich waters around Cerralvo Island.
Peak season for megafauna encounters. Mobula rays, mantas, blue whales, sperm whales, dolphins, and orcas fill the waters around Cerralvo Island.
The Sea of Cortez never sleeps. Orcas, dolphins, sharks, sea turtles, sea lions, and sperm whales are present every month of the year.
