Take a short escape aimed at active travelers in search of a health and wellness experience with National Geographic's 5-day expedition aboard National Geographic Venture. Similar to Tulum for yoga and other retreats on Mexico’s Caribbean side, we are looking to offer a new experience in Baja California travel & the Sea of Cortez that positions the region as a mecca for active getaways. Explore the island to actively explore unsullied landscapes, revel in pure nature, and enjoy exhale’s award-winning wellbeing programs.
Highlights
Exult in the pristine beauty of the Sea of Cortez azure water, bays, beaches
Stroll long, white sand beaches in search of pearl oyster shells
Snorkel among playful sea lions and schools of colorful reef fish
Kayak along beautifully carved coastlines
Take in panoramic views or landscapes of black lava and pink volcanic ash
Find balance on the water with exhale paddleboard yoga classes
Enjoy a sunset beach BBQ, bonfire, and end your day with stargazing
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Arrive at Los Cabos airport and transfer to La Paz, where you’ll embark National Geographic Venture between 4:00 pm and 4:30 pm. If you are flying in this day, we have arranged transportation form the airport in San Jose Del Cabo. Set sail on arrival, for a sunset cruise of Bahía La Paz en route to Isla Espiritu Santo.
Day 2-4: Isla Espiritu Santo | Isla Partida | Los Islotes
Wake up anchored in one of Isla Espiritu Santo’s beautiful bays and watch the cliffs light up as your wellness. Specialist leads a morning yoga or qi gong class, on deck, or on shore.
For three full days, you’ll have the luxury to explore as much or as little as you like, with the ship as your mobile base-camp. Explore the dramatically eroded shoreline of Isla Partida on a one-way kayak journey, or join a challenging hike up a rocky arroyo to the crest of the island. Meander a different arroyo with your Naturalists to learn details of the region’s geology and natural history, then learn to standup paddleboard, or hone skills you already possess. Spend a morning snorkeling with playful and curious sea lions, or photograph their antics from expedition landing craft. Relax with an afternoon massage, then go ashore for a beach barbecue dinner followed by a bonfire under the stars. However you choose to spend these days, you’ll be rewarded with a sense of well-being that comes only from spending quality time in nature.

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.

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.
