Journey with Erika / Glacial Expeditions

Overview

Spend nine days exploring the "World's Aquarium." This action-packed itinerary is full of unique excursions: snorkeling with playful sea lion pups, a guided mule ride with local rancheros, beach parties on remote islands, and more. The Sea of Cortez is very remote and full of sea life: keep an eye out for sperm whales, flying mobula rays, super pods of common dolphins, and endemic fish species.

Included Highlights:

  • Included hotel night in the colorful town of San José del Cabo.
  • Snorkel with playful sea lions and colorful reef fish. 
  • Meet local rancheros and enjoy a burro ride in Bahía Agua Verde. 
  • Explore the quiet beaches and coral reefs around Honeymoon Cove. 
  • Search humpback, blue and fin whales, flying mobula rays, and seabirds. 
  • Enjoy farm-to-table meals with ingredients sourced from local farmers.
