The Bay is a wonderland of sealife. Among the most cherished creatures are the Golfina Turtles who return to the shores year after year to lay their eggs.
Playful Dolphins are always visible and delight visitors as they swim alongside their boats.
The most magnificent sight imaginable is to view Dolphins skimming the water in the pre-dawn hours, bathed with phosphorescence. It is not unusual to spot a graceful Manta Ray skimming the surface or small Bat Rays jumping to incredible heights above the ocean. The Humpbacks arrive in November and dazzle onlookers with their displays until the month of March. During this time they mate, give birth to their young and enjoy cavorting in the bay in family groups. The Marietas Islands are the nesting and feeding grounds for marine birds.
