Sea of Cortez Discovery Voyage

From San Felipe to the Midriff Islands, Baja California

May 31 - June 7

Join us for our annual voyage through the spectacular Sea of Cortez.

This is a unique opportunity to discover the abundant marine wildlife and experience the majestic beauty of the uninhabited islands off the rugged east coast of Baja California. Six 22' skiffs will take us ashore for beachcombing, snorkeling or hiking, or offshore for fishing and watching whales, dolphins, sea lions, turtles and the thousands of birds which abound in the Sea of Cortez--truly a nature lover's paradise!
