Spend the morning cruising the San José Canal while watching for marine mammals. During this time, you will receive gear and orientation from your expedition team. In the afternoon, go ashore near Isla San José or Puerto Los Gatos for snorkeling, kayaking, beachcombing, or hiking into desert landscapes.

At Bahía Agua Verde, turquoise water is framed by rugged, green-tinged mountains. Explore the coast by skiff while watching for birds, seals, dolphins, and whales. Meet a local ranchero and his family and take a burro ride through canyons and hillsides for an authentic glimpse of rural Baja life. This area also offers excellent hiking, kayaking, morning bird walks, or a possible snorkel. 

Visit secluded Honeymoon Cove, renowned for its turquoise water and white sand beaches that are accessible only by boat. Snorkel in clear water, paddle a kayak along rocky coves, or relax on the beach. Guided hikes lead up to ridges with sweeping views of the Sea of Cortez. Your crew may also set up a beach party here, where you can enjoy water activities or hang out on the beach with drinks and snacks.

Spend the day snorkeling, hiking, and kayaking at Isla Monserrate. In the evening, gather with your fellow travelers for a beach bonfire if weather allows. If conditions are poor, nearby Isla Carmen will serve as the alternate location for the day’s activities.

Immerse yourself in the striking beauty of Isla San Francisco, where red bluffs, white sand beaches, and sweeping ridgelines set the stage for a full day of exploration. This is a true big beach party day, with time to spread out along the crescent shaped shore, wander quiet salt flats, and relax by the water. The highlight is the ridge hike, rewarding those who climb with panoramic views across the Sea of Cortez. From shore walks and kayaking along dramatic coastlines to snorkeling among colorful fish, the day offers a perfect blend of active adventure and laid-back island time.

Rise early for an advanced snorkel at Los Islotes, home to a thriving colony of juvenile sea lions, where curious pups often swirl and glide alongside snorkelers for truly unforgettable encounters. Skiff tours offer another perspective on the colony, with excellent opportunities to observe sea lion behavior from the water, while keeping an eye out for blue-footed boobies perched along the rocks. In the afternoon, continue to Isla Espíritu Santo or Isla Partida for a mix of kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, or a festive beach gathering with your shipmates, rounding out a day rich in wildlife, exploration, and classic Baja adventure.

After breakfast, say farewell to your crew and fellow travelers. Disembark in La Paz and transfer to San Jose de Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) for your return flight.
