Highlights

Come explore one of the most remarkable natural settings in Baja California Sur. Espíritu Santo Island, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brings together wildlife, majestic landscapes, pristine beaches and crystal-clear blue waters of the Sea of Cortez


Cruise across the sea looking for frigate birds and a colony of more than 400 sea lions, then slip into the water to snorkel and discover marine life beneath the surface


But Espíritu Santo is just as special out of the water. Step onto one of the island's pristine beaches, enjoy lunch by the sea, then grab a paddleboard, take another swim or simply relax with the turquoise water in front of you


What makes the island unforgettable is the contrast: desert landscapes meeting the sea, wildlife above and below the water, and peaceful beaches surrounded by the wild beauty of Baja.


Sea lions, snorkeling, paddleboarding, pristine beaches and a UNESCO World Heritage setting come together in one full-day adventure across the Sea of Cortez

Itinerary

  • Isla Espiritu Santo

    Set out from La Paz across the Sea of Cortez to discover Espíritu Santo Island, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Mexico's best-kept secrets. Abundant in wildlife, Espíritu Santo is home to a colony of more than 400 sea lions. Join us on a scenic boat tour to catch a glimpse of the frigate bird colony at San Gabriel Bay and admire the spectacular rock formations along the island's coastline. We'll take you snorkeling in crystal-clear water, where you can discover the remarkable marine life of the Sea of Cortez. Then stop for a delicious lunch on one of the island's pristine beaches. After your meal, test your skills on our paddleboards, take another swim, or simply lay back on a comfy beach chair and enjoy the turquoise view. After a day of sea lions, snorkeling and beach time, enjoy the scenic boat ride back to La Paz with one last look at Espíritu Santo and the Sea of Cortez. Certain swimming restrictions may apply during June, July and August due to the sea lions' breeding season. Snorkeling may take place at a different site.
