San
Jose del Cabo
Welcome to San Jose del Cabo! After
being met at the airport by a local guide, you will be
transferred to the lovely boutique hotel, Casa Natalia.
You'll feel time slow down in this serene oasis set among
an enclave of palms. Stroll along the charming streets
of historic San Jose del Cabo or stop for dinner at any
one of the inviting open-air restaurants in town.
La
Paz
Enjoy the warmth of a Baja California
sunrise today. We’ll depart early this morning for
La Paz, stopping in the artist’s community of Todos
Santos along the way. We’ll stop long enough to
enjoy brunch, before continuing on to La Paz. The afternoon
is yours to visit the town at your leisure. Your guide
will assist you with ideas about where to go and what
to see. Later in the afternoon, you’ll be transferred
to your yacht where your crew greets you with hors d’oeuvres,
cocktails and a sumptuous dinner. We cruise a short distance,
and will anchor off a wild desert island this evening.
Isla
Partida & Los Islotes
The rhythm of the Sea of Cortes beckons
as we cruise north. We’ll weave our way along sunset-painted
desert coastline today, stopping in remote coves for swimming,
beach walking and guided nature hikes. At the tiny island
of Los Islotes we’ll snorkel among a multitude of
sea lions and thousands of kaleidoscope-colored fish.
Tonight your chef masterfully prepares a delectable meal
while your yacht lays anchored off Isla Partida.
Isla
San Jose
We visit the island of San Jose today
where we’ll spend the day exploring Bahia Amortajada.
Here, we’ll wander through the "Cardon Forest,"
a unique natural collection of one of the world’s
tallest cactus. To the south, a mangrove-lined lagoon
borders gentle, white sand beaches. Kayak with your Expedition
Leader through the narrow lagoon entrance for a closer
look at these tenacious trees of the sea. Bring your binoculars
for a closer look at various birds that call this area
"home."
Bahia
Agua Verde
We step even further into the unspoiled
world of Baja California today as deserted coves and old-world
missions beckon from the desert shores. If conditions
allow, we’ll hike to the isolated and long-abandoned
mission of Los Dolores, virtually unknown to visitors
in Baja California. Back aboard, we set off in search
of dolphins and whales as we continue our Sea of Cortes
voyage, finally anchoring in magnificent Bahia Agua Verde
tonight.
Dolphins
and deserts
This morning we awaken to sparse, craggy
mountains hemming in the green, clear waters of the bay.
Stroll along the beach with your Expedition Leader and
see what you may discover along the shores. For a true
taste of adventure, join your yacht mates for an included
trail ride into the arroyos of the peninsula. You’ll
explore canyons and scenic vistas, experiencing breathtaking
sights as you go. This afternoon we’ll get underway
for Isla Danzante in search of the many whales that frequent
this area.
Loreto
Today we up anchor and cruise north
to the charming town of Loreto. We’ll go ashore
at Puerto Escondido, and transfer into Loreto for an historic
walking tour of the area. There is a delightful array
of shops in town to browse through before reboarding the
Safari Spirit. Later as we cruise, keep a sharp look out
for blue, fin, pilot and sperm whales as well as large
pods of dolphins. We’ll anchor off the village of
Nopolo this evening.
Isla
Coyote
The remote village of Isla Coyote is
our first stop today. You will have an opportunity to
go ashore with your Expedition Leader to explore and visit
with the locals. The crew of the Safari Spirit will deliver
water to the residents as fresh water is extremely rare
on the island. Later we’ll make our way to Isla
Espiritu Santo. Have your binoculars on hand for sights
of blue-footed boobys, pelicans, cormorants and the array
of gulls that make their home here. Tonight we anchor
off the south end of Isla Espiritu Santo.
La
Paz/Los Cabos
Buenos Dias! We greet you this morning
with a delectable breakfast before bidding you "adios."
You will be transferred to San Jose del Cabo via the magnificent
Sierra la Giganta mountains, arriving at the airport late
this morning for connections home.
