BAJA – MEXICO – SEA ADVENTURE
We went in March 2019 – Can’t wait to go back!
Southern Baja peninsula of Mexico is an excellent destination for all ages and abilities of travel. Take an eco-adventure tour to FineTerra, the tip of the world, where beaches meet the desert; where sea life is protected by a marine park; where distances are manageable; and where the service is excellent.
Design an itinerary with your favorite activities: snorkeling, scuba diving, and surf lessons on the beach. Include horseback ridding on the beach (for the whole family). Take a self guided hike or invite a naturalist to show you the subtleties of this unique landscape. A cooking class kept all ages engaged, including the adults who enjoyed a new margarita recipe. During January, the whales are visible from great distances and sometimes they are very close!
Add-on a couple of nights “glamping” in the stillness of the remote Isla Espirtu Santos where all meals are cooked with abundant care; the beds are made up for you daily; the naturalist guides will be able to enlighten your views of the diverse and unique marine bio system here. Paddle a kayak around the mangrove trees, hike through the palms growing thick in the swampy oasis to emerge a few yards later onto the sand beaches.
If you are in the hiking mood, find a trail into the desert that encompasses the mid section of the mountainous peninsula to find cool wind swept pine woods, even some small deer.
Stay on the coast of the Pacific in Tantos Santos (All Holy), then cross the isthmus to the Sea of Cortez for glamorous living on an uninhabited Isla Espiritu Santos (Holy Spirit).

Please scroll down for a few pictures from our trip! Hope you would like to go!!We found the best riding stable – we had all levels and ages. Everyone was comfortable. We went from the palm covered jungle to the ocean beaches passing lagoons that filled with precious water from the mountains….that reach 7,000 feet! Palm trees everywhere.
This is the transfer to the islands….and the way to reach the best snorkling spots for fish and sea lion puppies! and even whale sharks (that are really just very large fish!)
You can SEE the geology here where it rains less than 10 inches a year.
Our luggage waiting to be trekked across this coral sand by the guides – all trained in out door safety. They are excellent naturalists in English and Spanish.
Our “tent” had a fan for the few hours of heat during the middle of the day.
Sunset.

View from Los Colibris (the hummingbirds) Lodge near Todos Santos on the Pacific side of the peninsula.
Let’s plan a cooking class for you one evening in Iker’s kitchen. It is entertaining and delicious!
This is a remote inlet on the Pacific coast where once a stone dock was created. It was the only port for loading and unloading products. The foundation is there, but dock is gone.
Manuel. our guide, is always studying; an incredible swimmer.
Some of these beaches are calm, but have very strong undertow – others have big surf which can be great fun to try…..”everyone can get up on the board”.
A great little “art town” still to be explored….but not on a Sunday!
This beach extends from the Pacific over to this side which is the Sea of Cortez….Lovers’ beach on this side, divorce beach on the other!
Estimated price available upon request. Trip as shown approx $2500 per person.
With the “Glamping”trip to Tantos Santos, the services will increase and subsequently the cost. Snorkeling or scuba diving all choices to design in your exclusive itinerary.
