Day 1:
Trip meets at SeeCreatures Cabo San Lucas at 04:30 pm for a complimentary transfer to La Paz and your ship, where our hostesses will be waiting to welcome you onboard with margaritas and champagne.

Days 2-7:
Navigating the shortest distance between 2 destinations perfectly describes this trip: La Paz, Loreto, and the Sea of Cortez. This is a great trip for those looking for a relaxed, laid-back trip and Mexican hospitality. The seas are usually flat and calm. 4 dives a day, including some night dives. Super playful sea lions and enormous schools of fish. Spotter airplane support to find big animals, which might include huge pods of dolphins, orcas, pilot whales, or even sperm whales. Beach walks, kayaking, sunset cocktail hour, guided desert walks, and the main course of diving and snorkeling. We are excited to report that, for the first time in 20 years, we have been seeing large numbers of hammerhead sharks throughout the Sea of Cortez. We will likely visit Las Animas, La Reyna, El Bajo, the beautiful Carmen Island, sunken ships at Danzanta, and Espiritu Santo. 

Day 8:
Returning to La Paz at 08:30 am with a complimentary transfer back to either SJD or SeeCreatures Cabo to continue your adventure.

Sample itineraries are for guidance only. Actual itineraries may differ slightly due to factors such as weather, wildlife, logistics, and local regulations.
