There are places in the world where time seems to stand still. Spots where nature takes center stage, and every visit turns into an unforgettable experience. One of those places is La Reina, a small islet just north of Cerralvo Island in the Sea of Cortez. And this summer, La Reina isn’t just amazing… it’s spectacular.
The giant mantas are back
After years of uncertainty, giant Pacific manta rays (Mobula birostris) are making a strong comeback at La Reina. This phenomenon has thrilled both scientists and divers around the world. These majestic creatures can reach up to 7 meters in wingspan. Swimming alongside them is not only possible — it’s likely if you go out with the right guides.
Recent sightings report several individuals cruising gracefully over the reef’s cleaning stations, accompanied by angelfish, remoras, and of course, wide-eyed divers. These are the kinds of encounters that stay with you forever.
Fishing season is on fire
But that’s not all. For those passionate about sportfishing, La Reina is currently delivering outstanding catches of wahoo, dorado, and yellowfin tuna, with ideal conditions for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.
Whether you prefer trolling for speed or deep drops for size, this area offers one of the best fishing experiences in Baja right now.
