Mexico’s Sea of Cortés

7-night island-hopping adventure cruise in Mexico’s Sea of Cortés

"When I got onboard I soon met many returning passengers and I quickly saw why—this is perfect! I love the flexibility of the schedule."

A WORLD OF RAW BEAUTY

Our inclusive island-hopping cruise in the Sea of Cortés showcases adventure, culture, and wildlife—boobies, pelicans, frigate birds; humpback, gray, pilot, and blue whales; whale sharks, dolphins, and sea lions. Paddle and hike along desert landscape. Snorkel with sea lion pups. Ride a mule into the arroyos with local rancheros. And discover firsthand how small the human presence here truly is.

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.
