Itinerary
Day 1
San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur / Embark
Embark the vessel and meet the Captain and crew. Enjoy a cocktail and dinner with fellow adventurers.
Day 2
Gordo Banks
Kick off the week’s adventure at Gordo Banks—an underwater mountain located five miles off Baja’s southern tip. Explore this important marine habitat perfect for viewing all kinds of sea life: humpback whales, mobula and manta rays, tuna, dolphins, and hammerhead sharks.
Day 3
Isla San Francisco
Sailing through islands once pillaged by conquistadors for black pearls, discover Isla San Francisco’s white sand beach, aptly named Half Moon Bay. Snorkel along barnacled rocks, kayak amidst hues of blue, and take an interpretive walk or a more strenuous guided hike along a desert rim for spectacular panoramic views.
Day 4
Isla Santa Catalina / Bahía Agua Verde
Ideal for bird watching and seeking endemic wildlife, take a guided hike among a forest of the world’s tallest cactus—the giant Cardón. At Bahía Agua Verde, clear waters are bordered by sparse craggy mountains hemmed in green. Explore the coast by small skiff, visit with a local ranchero and his family, and take to the canyons and mountains on a burro ride to experience the “real Baja.”
Day 5
Magdalena Bay
Dock in Puerto Escondido and head across the peninsula to take a panga ride and observe gray whales in the lagoon. With binoculars in hand, watch for pods of dolphins, orcas, blue, fin, sei, and sperm whales as they spout and dive in the surrounding waters. Blue-footed boobies, brown pelicans, cormorants, and gulls also make this area their home. Weather permitting; a sunset bonfire this evening makes time for music and sharing stories ashore.
Day 6
Isla Carmen
Drop anchor in a lovely secluded cove and paddle for shore. Choose to kayak, paddle board, snorkel, or beachcomb. Alternatively, enjoy a guided hike into an inland sandy valley, perfect for identifying animal tracks. Explore nature’s diversity and learn about the geologic forces that formed the islands.
Day 7
Los Islotes / Ensenada Grande
At Los Islotes—a steep rocky outcropping leaping straight from the sea—observe a sea lion colony from the boat and skiff, or slip into a wetsuit for a pre-breakfast snorkel with agile young sea lions. Swim through a rock arch where orange fan and white fire coral sway in the current, while high overhead, sea birds perch on the cliffs. Then heave anchor and set sail for Ensenada Grande for the last day of water play. Enjoy a special Farewell Dinner followed by the Expedition Leader’s slideshow recap of the journey.
Day 8
San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur / Disembark
After breakfast, bid farewell to the journey, disembark and transfer to the airport.
