Day 1: La Paz | Embark

Arrive at La Paz International Airport to begin your adventure. Transfer to the ship from our hospitality area, where the captain and crew will greet you. Enjoy a cocktail and dinner with your new companions as you settle in.

Day 2: Isla San Francisco

Adventure in a playground of steep red bluffs and sweeping desert beach. Don some flippers for a snorkel among colorful sea life, put on your walking shoes for an exploratory romp along the ridge, grab a paddle and kayak, hop on a paddle board, or relax on the beach with the sand between your toes. The rugged beauty of the island makes it an ideal spot for escapades.
 

Day 3: Bahia Agua Verde

At Bahia Agua Verde, crystal-clear waters are framed by rugged, green-hemmed mountains. Explore the coast by small skiff, keeping an eye out for birds, seals, dolphins, and whales. Meet a local ranchero and his family and take a mule ride through the canyons and mountains to experience the “real Baja.” If you are feeling adventurous, walk to the nearby village of Agua Verde and experience this fishing and ranching area. This is a great area for hiking, small boat explorations, and kayaking. Enjoy scenic vistas, exceptional exploration, excellent birding, and vibrant culture. 

Day 4: Honeymoon Cove on Isla Danzante

Today, we will visit a stunning, secluded location. The water at Honeymoon Cove is exceptionally clear with a turquoise hue, making it a great spot for snorkeling. Explore colorful coral reefs, diverse fish species, and other sea creatures. Isla Danzante is known for its spectacular white sand beaches only accessible by boat. If you need a break from the water, there will be opportunities to hang out on the beach, hike to a mountain top, or kayak in the rocky coves. 

Day 5: Captain's Choice

Rise and shine, adventurers! This morning, your captain will choose the day's activities. If weather permitting, we're hiking the incredible Volcán Coronado. Whether you prefer a stroll or a challenging hike, Volcán Coronado offers numerous opportunities for exploration. Your captain may also choose to offer beach walks or skiff tours, where you will have a chance to see blue-footed boobies, dolphins, and sea lions. In the afternoon, join your captain for a marine mammal search in the Sea of Cortez, or if sea conditions allow, we will anchor and take some time to explore Loreto Town, the former Capital of all three California’s. Keep an eye out from the Safari Voyager for sightings of blue whales, fin whales, orcas, and a diverse array of pinnipeds and dolphins.

Day 6: Los Islotes | Isla Partida

Get ready to snorkel with our most adorable friends in all of Baja: the playful sea lion pups at Los Islotes! These curious pups are familiar with humans and will joyfully swim alongside you and your fellow UnCruisers. We will arrive bright and early before the other tour boats, ensuring you can enjoy this activity crowd-free. Opportunities for skiff tours will also be available. In the afternoon, we’ll head to Isla Parida Park, where you will have opportunities for kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking. Or kick back with a beach party, complete with a cool drink. 

Day 7: Isla Cerralvo, San Jose, or Espiritu Santo

Today, your captain will choose a beautiful bay to anchor in before a day filled with activities. Enjoy the feel of warm sand under your feet on a beach walk, investigate nooks and crannies in the rocks by kayak, or explore a little further afield on a guided hike. Celebrate your week at tonight’s special farewell dinner with an entertaining slideshow by your expedition team. 

Day 8: La Paz | Disembark

After breakfast, you will disembark the ship and transfer to the La Paz airport for your flight.
