Sea of Cortez Discovery Voyage
September 15-22, 2012

Join us for our annual voyage through the spectacular Sea of Cortez.  Traveling from San Felipe to the Midriff Islands aboard the Tony Reyes, we'll stop each day to explore a different island in this fascinating chain.  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!

Islands such as Angel de la Guardia, La Raza, Animas, San Lorenzo and Salsipuedes offer exciting opportunities for exploring deserted beaches and hidden coves, climbing isolated peaks and discovering exotic plants and birds. Explore crystal clear underwater worlds with mask and snorkel, or skim along the surface in a kayak.  22-foot "pangas" with outboard motors and Mexican guides will be available to take us to any part of an island or to off-shore reefs and open water to fish for cabrilla, snapper, yellowtail, sierra and a variety of other species.
