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 into the crystalline waters of a UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve and swim alongside curious sea lions at Los Islotes. This is Baja's ultimate wildlife encounter — untamed, intimate, and utterly unforgettable.
La Paz is the world's most reliable whale-shark destination, and slipping into calm turquoise water alongside the ocean's largest fish is a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime moment. No cage, no crowds — just you and a 30-foot gentle giant.
Balandra — Mexico's most beautiful beach and ranked among the world's top 20 — is a sheltered jade lagoon ringed by volcanic rock and mangroves. Pair it with wild Tecolote Beach and you have the perfect Baja bucket-list day.
The Mogote Peninsula's towering sand dunes tumble straight into the Sea of Cortez, offering adrenaline-fuelled sandboarding as the sky turns amber and rose. It's Baja's most photogenic adventure, and it happens just minutes from port.
La Paz's palm-lined malecón is one of Mexico's most beautiful waterfront promenades, and this private guided cultural walk weaves in the city's pearl-diving heritage, artisan markets, cathedral, and the legendary taco stands that define Baja street culture.
Baja California's craft-beer revolution has reached La Paz, and this intimate tasting tour pairs world-class microbrews with the region's legendary street food — fresh ceviche, smoked marlin tacos, and Baja-style shrimp — for a deliciously authentic afternoon.
