Sea of Cortez: 8-Day La Paz North to Loreto
Seven nights working north from La Paz toward Loreto Bay National Marine Park, August to October: the La Reina fish tornadoes and Espiritu Santo first, then Las Animas, Isla San Francisco and the islands north, with up to four dives a day including night dives, time ashore and kayaks and paddleboards between dives. The captain and crew draw on five decades in the Sea of Cortez to shape each day around recent sightings. Check in at SeeCreatures Cabo by 4:30 pm for the included coach transfer to the ship in La Paz, and disembark in La Paz at 8 am with a transfer to a La Paz hotel, San Jose del Cabo airport or SeeCreatures included.
