La Paz, Baja Sur Mexico: Gateway to the Sea of Cortez

There is heaven on Earth, and it is Espiritu Santo Island in the Sea of Cortez. Espiritu Santo Island is a World Heritage Site surrounded by a marine preserve. Topside, there are winding trails through endemic forests of 300-year-old Cardon Cacti. Share an uninhabited beach with fishing Brown Pelicans and curious jack rabbits. Bask in the glow of a few of this place’s 365 unique sunsets. Below the waterline get a healthy dose of Vitamin Sea while going gill-to-snorkel with amazing animals. Our Baja Sur Eco Tours are magical!

The setting of our daily adventures is our island camp located 26 nautical miles from Baja Sur’s capital city, La Paz. The camp is on a beach of which The Travel Magazine has dubbed as “absurdly beautiful” and swimming in its water is like “swimming in a bottle of Curacao.” The site is close to most major dive sites and hiking trails. Expect all the creature comforts of home, and to be well taken care of by a 3-person crew including a chef!

The beauty of this place goes beyond aesthetics. The real charm is that anybody in good health and with an adventurous spirit can come here and play underwater with wild sea lions, snorkel with whale sharks, be surrounded by a hurricane of fluttering mobula rays, and swim with wild whales and dolphins! Popular diving and snorkeling sites are from 0 to 40ft. Most of the year the water is clear and there are few currents. Activities on our Baja Sur Eco Tours include snorkeling, SCUBA diving, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, whale watching, birding, and camping.
