On this 7-day Baja California Nature Tour, you’ll first be treated to spectacular nature and wildlife opportunities in Mexico’s central Baja California peninsula and the Sea of Cortez.

Set out by boat into the Bay of La Paz, for San Rafaelito, where you’ll get your first snorkel opportunity before heading to Balendra Bay, a protected area home to pristine beaches, mangroves and stunning scenery, great for trekking and snorkelling. Final stop takes you to the whale shark observation zone.

Experience luxurious tented glamping on Espiritu Santo Island. Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the best marine life viewing destinations in the world. Whales, dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays and plenty of beautiful tropical fish call the surrounding waters home, while bird species including Blue-footed Boobies, Reddish Egrets, Great Blue Herons and Yellow-footed Gulls frequent the island’s skies and shores.

Finally, journey to Los Cabos at the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula for some well-earned time spent soaking up the sun and sand in San Jose del Cabo before heading home.
