Baja and the Sea of Cortez - Liveaboards - Whales and Wildlife - Cruising to Land's End
On this newly-designed expedition, you may be able to spot gray whales surfing in the waves of the Baja Pacific coast and humpback whales breaching to the skies. Snorkeling forays will bring you nose-to-whiskers with graceful sea lions and their pups at Los Islotes on a day spent near Espiritu Santo Island.
Explore Los Frailes and snorkel in Cabo Pulmo, a beautiful coral reef near the Tropic of Cancer where you'll find the most northern coral reef of the Pacific as well as a beautiful and protected marine park loaded with fish.
And, you won't want to miss the visit to “La Isla Cerralvo,” the southernmost island of the Gulf, where you can hike or kayak around its amazing and unexplored landscapes.
This is a spectacular opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to see and learn about whales, birds, desert plants and fish. For those who would like a closer experience with the gray whales that are nesting at this same time of the year in the Pacific lagoons, we offer a one day extension that will allow you to visit them in Magdalena Bay.
Your adventure is aboard Baja Expedition’s 80' Don Jose. Its high second and third decks provide ideal vantage points as you ply the seas in search of whales. The Don Jose comfortably accommodates passengers in seven above-deck cabins, each with a storage closet, adjacent shower and head, plus a private changing area and sink in some. Air-conditioning is available at night in each cabin. Snorkel gear is available at no charge and six, open cockpit kayaks can be used to explore nearby coves and beaches when you anchor. With a DVD and VHS video system and a natural history library for your perusal, this vessel will make your adventure a true pleasure. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are freshly prepared by onboard cooks. Each evening, you'll also enjoy Baja Expedition’s famous Don Jose-style happy hour as you watch the sunset and enjoy the natural history adventure of a lifetime!
