Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Bienvenidos! You’re met at the Los Cabos International Airport in San Jose del Cabo and transferred to your hospitality area. This afternoon, your expedition team acquaints you with the Baja landscape during an overland transfer to La Paz. Your captain, crew, and wellness hosts welcome you aboard in time for a cocktail and dinner.
Rise early and greet the day with guided sun salutations. Or, catch a few more winks if your yoga session is slated for later in the day. Then step into a playground of red bluffs and desert beach. Don flippers for a snorkel among colorful sea life. The buoys set the course if you want to get in a full-body swim workout. Put on your walking shoes for a cardio-power hike, grab a paddle, or relax on the beach. The rugged beauty of the island makes it an ideal spot for escapades. Later, go deep on training, diet, and mindfulness. Your wellness hosts lead discussions and presentations over the next days that guide you toward living your healthiest life.
Clear waters bordered by sparse mountains hemmed in green. The protected bay is perfect for speed—like a power kayak to build your core, shoulders, and arms. Or, find inner peace on a walking meditation or explore the coast by small skiff. Take to the canyons on a mule ride and experience the “real Baja” with a local ranchero and his family. Scenic vistas, excellent birding, and unmatched camaraderie—all distractions from the work your body is doing.
While it’s unlikely you’ll find any black pearls, today sail among islands once explored by early conquistadors. Your expedition team is ready with adventurous options—kayaking, hiking, paddle boarding, or beachcombing. Discover nature’s diversity and the geologic forces that formed these islands. Your wellness team brings fitness full-circle with a healthy lifestyle discussion. Wind down with a meditation or yoga practice, and a bit of stargazing in the night sky.
Mother Nature is your guide today. Whale sharks—the largest living species of fish—frequent Bahia de La Paz (Dec–mid-Jan). Keep watch for the watery “footprints” of these gentle giants, and conditions permitting, gear up for an unforgettable snorkel alongside this colossal creature or observe from above in the skiff. Or, if the gray whales have arrived in Bahia Magdalena (mid-Jan or later), dock in Puerto Escondido, then drive across the peninsula to ride in a panga and observe these marine mammals and their babies in the lagoon. They travel each year to calve on Baja’s west coast—migrating more than 12,000 miles.
This steep craggy seamount leaps straight from the sea as a haulout for sea lions. Observe the colony from the boat and skiff, or slip into a wetsuit for an early morning advanced snorkel with curious, agile sea lion pups. Afterwards, heave anchor and set sail for Isla Partida. What’s in store? Get ready to feel the burn and work up a sweat on a desert hike among cardon cactus and palo verde trees. Or keep cool, and boost your balance practicing yoga poses on a paddle board.
Tuck into a secluded cove surrounded by long fingers of red rock and a golden beach. Spend your last full day enjoying the warm sand under your feet. This beach was made for sun soaked yoga and a post-practice dip in the water. Reflect on your week of body and spirit rejuvenation on a shoreline walk. Investigate nooks and crannies in the rocks by kayak or go further afield on a guided hike. Celebrate your week at tonight’s special Farewell Dinner with an entertaining slideshow by your expedition team.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

The response from Adventure Life to my first inquiry was prompt and promising. I worked with Jamie Broeckel, Trip Planner, via text, email, and phone calls- always extremely responsive and thorough with information and explaining the process to arrange a private tour for me to Malaysia Borneo. Within about week, the booking was complete and I made decisions because of Jamie's great customer service , friendly manner, and overall competence on behalf of the company's travel expertise. Now I have an itinerary, additional Trip Planner Assistants, several links for vital information for traveling to Maylasia, etc. Still many details for Sept. trip, but now the heavy lifting is done and I can enjoy the rest of the anticipation and research!! Thanks Jamie- you are amazing!!!!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
