Day 1 - Boarding Day!
We encourage you to take advantage of our complimentary photo imaging workshop at SeeCreatures on the morning of your departure. Our photo pros are experts at coaching you toward that perfect image. They will also have rental GoPros and TG-6 cameras available and additional coaching if you want to take one along on your adventure. Please check into SeeCreatures Cabo by 4:30 pm at the latest for coach transfer to La Paz where our hosties will be waiting on the back deck for you with trays of margaritas and champagne. Bonus option! Relaxing on the upper deck or in our hot tub under the brilliant star-filled Mexican sky. Most nights are calm, with very little motion, which makes this even more special.
Day 2 - 5 Adventuring the Sea of Cortez
Your first day at sea typically starts anchored off a quiet beach at Cerralvo Island for a warm-up dive and then over to the incredible tornadoes of fish at La Reyna. This is also our best chance of encountering giant manta rays in the entire Sea of Cortes. We encourage our non-diving guests to chat with our concierges at least a month before departure date to pre-arrange snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming coaching, or a complimentary discover scuba experience before their trip. Where we go next will vary. We might have reports of a huge pod of dolphins or even orcas in which case we’ll make full steam ahead to get you close or even in the water maintaining full respect for these animals. Interactions are always on their terms. During your days at sea, we will almost certainly visit Isla Las Animas which boasts a large population of California sea lions and is a great spot for hammerhead sharks from June to November. It’s a great snorkelling, kayaking and paddle board and swimming opportunity and chance for everyone else to go ashore. We are also certain to visit Isla La Reyna which is home to the vast schools of fish pictured on the cover of this booklet. It’s also your single best opportunity to see manta rays in the entire Sea of Cortez. We’ll likely also spend time around the UNESCO World Heritage site of Espiritu Santo. One of our company founders was instrumental in saving this gorgeous island from commercial development as a casino and facilitated donating the land to the people of Mexico as a national park. Check out some wreck diving. Go ashore for beach time or hikes into the hills guided by our naturalist. Kayaking. Paddle boarding. Swimming or whatever you want. Whale watching and encounters are always on the agenda including a resident pod of giant Your last day is always sad for us. We hate to say good-bye. But wait, you don’t have to say good-bye just yet. There is still time to head up to Cabo Pulmo with us for a one day adventure or take advantage of our special offer staying in a local hotel. Or for divers, this could be your chance to dive the famous pinnacles of Gordo Banks before you go home! We’re here to serve and do everything we can for you.
