Your day-by-day details | Roundtrip San José del Cabo, Mexico from $5,595 to $8,995
DAY 1 San Jose Del Cabo to La Paz Embarkation
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. (D)
DAY 2 Isla San Francisco
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)
DAY 3 Bahia Agua Verde
At Bahía Agua Verde, clear waters are bordered by sparse craggy mountains hemmed in green. Explore the coast by small skiff, visit with a local ranchero and his family, and take to the canyons and mountains on a mule ride and experience the “real Baja.” Scenic vistas, outstanding exploration, excellent birding, and unmatched camaraderie—the day is done. (BLD)
DAY 4 Marine Life Search
Mother Nature is your guide today. 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. Bring it on! (BLD)
DAY 5 Los Islotes | Isla Partida
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)
DAY 6 Isla Espiritu Santo
Tuck into a secluded cove surrounded by long fingers of red rock and a golden beach. Spend your last full day enjoying the feel of warm sand under your feet on a beach walk, investigate nooks and crannies in the rocks by kayak, or explore a little further afield on a guided hike. Celebrate your week at tonight’s special Farewell Dinner with an entertaining slideshow by your expedition team. (BLD)
DAY 7 Whale Shark Expedition
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)
DAY 8 La Paz to San Jose del Cabo Disembarkation
After breakfast, it’s “adios” La Paz, as you transfer back to San José del Cabo for your flight or UnCruise hotel stay. (B)
