Our expeditions on the Sea of Cortez, Baja California Sur, Mexico, introduce guests to one of the most fascinating and spellbinding places in the world. The area we have explored for 25 years remains un-impacted by humans outside of the local people (due of the inaccessibility of fresh water) and offer some of the most amazing marine life encounters on Earth. Where else could one encounter whales and dolphins on a near daily basis, snorkel or dive with sea lions and whale sharks (Sea of Cortez only), hike and explore remote nature trails untouched by tourism and visit with remote fishing and goat herding communities.
Our philosophy of Adventure Travel With a Purpose offers a unique way for eco-adventurers to experience Baja Mexico and the Sea of Cortez, while keeping in mind the well being of the people, the land and the marine life, as we explore the area where the desert sands of the Baja spill into the sea.
It is a world of a different time, place and rhythm that engages the mind and body.
Both the Sea of Cortez and San Ignacio Lagoon have been declared World Heritage Sites by the United Nations because of their importance to the world community. An experience of a lifetime awaits you!
