Explore two of the most beautiful landscapes of Baja on this trip. Kayak unspoiled beaches and snorkel with playful sea lions near uninhabited Espiritu Santo Island. Then, help local conservationists monitor sea turtles in magical Magdalena Bay. Your participation benefits both turtles and people in this important service project, which provides an alternative income to fishing for local people.

Bring the whole family to the Sea of Cortez to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime research project. With a spotter plane to help locate the whale sharks, you'll observe and assist visiting guide and researcher Dení Ramírez during each encounter. All you need are snorkel and fins, though scuba divers will find plenty of other fish in the Sea at greater depths. You’ll live aboard the Don Jose, big enough to be comfortable, but not so big you get lost in a crowd.

Experience the joy and exhilaration of open water swimming in the crystal clear and protected waters of Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla La Partida, accompanied by ASA certified coaches specializing in open water swimming.

This family-friendly program on the Don Jose combines fun, adventure and learning. Our experienced naturalist guide will lead hikes, kayak and snorkeling excursions and other environmental awareness activities sure to please all ages. Plus, certified divers can enjoy some great dive sites in the Sea of Cortez, while non-divers (ages 8 and up) can learn the necessary skills to safely try scuba diving.

By land and by sea: first explore historical missions and on foot, then watch whales for four days in San Ignacio Lagoon. (Or vice versa.) Bird watchers will delight in the many different species that can be seen during the trip. You’ll ride a skiff into the middle of the famous gray whale nursery in this World Heritage site. Sleep by the beach in comfort in our new Cabañas Camp.

Meet with two marine icons: gray whales and sea turtles, on the Pacific side of Baja. We’ll take skiffs out among gray whales in beautiful Magdalena Bay, where thousands come to mate and rear their young. Later, help monitor sea turtles with local conservationists. Secondary activities include paddling along mangrove estuaries and hiking in sand dunes.

Short on time? Our day trips allow you to experience a bit of Baja within your time frame. Or, extend your stay with us if you do have time to spare. Your choices range from interacting with friendly gray whales to swimming with whale sharks, snorkeling with sea lions and tropical fish, diving in the Sea of Cortez, and kayaking in a paddler's paradise.
