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.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
