The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Glide across the Sea of Cortez to Coronado Island — a jewel of the Loreto Bay National Marine Park — where sea lions frolic at your fins and rainbow reef fish swirl beneath crystal-clear waters. This is bucket-list Baja at its most vivid.
Travel to the legendary birthing lagoons of López Mateos, where California gray whales glide alongside your skiff close enough to touch. This is one of the rarest wildlife encounters on the planet — a UNESCO-protected moment unlike anything else at sea.
Wind through the dramatic Sierra de la Giganta mountains to Misión San Francisco Javier de Viggé-Biaundó — one of the best-preserved Jesuit missions in the Americas, surrounded by ancient olive trees and date palms. A breathtaking, deeply human piece of history.
Board a sleek catamaran and sail into Loreto Bay National Marine Park — one of Jacques Cousteau's 'aquarium of the world' — for an afternoon of world-class snorkelling, dolphin watching, and sundowner sailing on the Sea of Cortez.
Explore Loreto's sun-bleached mission square, vibrant Malecon, and mercado on a small-group food and culture walking tour that uncovers the flavours, stories, and characters behind Baja's oldest colonial town. This is slow travel at its most rewarding.
Paddle the electric-blue shallows of the Loreto Bay National Marine Park by sea kayak, then trade paddle for boots for a guided hike into the sculpted volcanic canyons of the Sierra de la Giganta — Baja's ultimate active adventure, private and tailored.
