Steinbeck, Cousteau… now it’s your turn to explore the “world’s aquarium” in the Sea of Cortes. Greet sea lions from the boat or skiff, or slip into a wetsuit for an even closer encounter. Getting your sea legs is easy too—relax with toes in the sand, on a hike, or atop a mule through the canyons of Baja. Land and sea are a step, or kayak, away. Click here to explore the guide.

Waiting For Whale Shark Day
It was the final day of the cruise and it was the day everybody had been talking about for the entire trip. Anticipation had been contained for most of the week as our expedition leader, Jeremy told us there is a chance we might not see anything but that didn’t stop our collective excitement. It was time to swim with the whale sharks.

In Mexico, a Cruise Among Critters
Our guide yelled, “In the water, now!” and 10 of us scurried to the swim platform, awkwardly duckwalking in our fins, holding masks and snorkels in place as we plunged into the dark ocean. Restless from the previous day’s weather front, the sea rolled in great swells, lifting and scattering us like bathtub toys.
