Snorkel Coral Gardens & Marine Conservation Experience
Swim with Whale Sharks & Playful Sea Lions
One of the most memorable days of the trip takes you into the home waters of the whale shark — the gentle giant of the ocean. With expert guidance, you’ll snorkel safely alongside this incredible creature. Later, cruise to a nearby island for another snorkeling session, this time with energetic sea lions gliding through clear waters. These wildlife encounters make this trip truly unforgettable.
Island-Hopping Expedition by Schooner
Set sail across the islands of the Sea of Cortez aboard a classic schooner for several days of pure maritime adventure.
