Baja California Eclipse Cruise

Bienvenidos! You will be met at the Los Cabos International Airport in San José del Cabo and transferred to our hospitality area. Joined by your expedition team, an overland orientation transfer to La Paz acquaints you with the dramatic Baja landscape and the week that lies ahead. The captain and crew welcome you aboard just in time for a cocktail and dinner with your new mates. Tonight we are underway to cross the Gulf of California.(D)

Today we cross the Gulf of California toward our eclipse viewing station. On the way, captain and crew will be searching for sealife. Dolphins love to ride our bow wave, jumping and dancing under and around the bow. Keep an eye out for them and for all types of whales! Later this afternoon we will make our first stop off the mainland coast where guests will have a chance to go ashore, kayak, paddle board, snorkel or take a skiff tour.Enjoy your first full day of gourmet meals and talk with the crew and your fellow enthusiasts about the process of the eclipse.

Celebrate this total eclipse of your heart with a post eclipse glass of champange, or your favorite bevvie! (BLD)

Another beautiful day at sea looking for marine life with an option for a special land tour to explore the local culture. Take your adventurous side and your binoculars in search of the largest baleen whales in the world. The Sea of Cortés is home to fin, blue, and sperm whales, and the dolphin pods number in the hundreds. Take a cocktail and a friend or a book up to the top deck to enjoy the sun, or to the air-conditioned lounge with its 270-degree view. Depending on conditions, we may get some time ashore before the gorgeous Baja sunset.   (BLD)

Adventure in a playground of steep red bluffs and sweeping desert beach. Don some flippers for a snorkel among colorful sea life, put on your walking shoes for an exploratory romp along the ridge, grab a paddle and kayak, hop on a paddle board, or relax on the beach with the sand between your toes. The rugged beauty of the island makes it an ideal spot for escapades. (BLD)

At Los Islotes—a steep craggy seamount leaping straight from the sea—slip into a wet suit for a snorkel with curious, agile young sea lion pups. At Isla Partida, get set for water play (kayaking, snorkeling, and stand up paddle boarding are all on the menu) and island hikes along desert beaches or into rocky arroyos. Or, kick back with a beach party—complete with a cool drink and sun-soaked lounge. (BLD)

Safari Voyager has re-entered Bahia de la Paz, but we are not done yet! Today we will have the chance to swim with Whale Sharks. These gentle giants are filter feeders and pose no threat to humans. Our careful visitation and guides ensure we are also no threat to them. Go out on a skiff into the warm areas of the bay where Whale Sharks gather. Jump in with snorkel and fins, or stay on board the skiff with your camera. Either way, it's the experience of a lifetime and a perfect way to put a cap on your cruise. (BLD)

After breakfast, it’s “adios” La Paz, as you transfer back to San José del Cabo for your flight or UnCruise hotel stay. (B)
