You are off to Isla Espiritu Santo and Camp Cecil today! After breakfast, you will go to our bodega to get snorkeling gear and wet suits, then board a boat and head out into the Sea of Cortez.
Camp Cecil is on Isla Espiritu Santo, a National Marine Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is known as one of the best marine life viewing destinations in the world. Whales, dolphins, whale sharks, sea turtles, manta rays, and plenty of beautiful tropical fish call the surrounding waters home, while a range of bird species, including Blue-footed Boobies, Reddish Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Yellow-footed Gulls frequent the island’s skies and shores.
The island is stunning, with magnificent towering cliffs, spectacular sandy bays, lava rock formations, and rock art left by the now-extinct Guaycura and Pericu Indians. There’s even an endemic ring-tailed cat, the babisuri. It’s a remarkable place to explore. Spend days kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, swimming with sea lions, stand-up paddle boarding, bird watching, and exploring hidden lagoons and desert beaches. Relaxing in the sun and salty air, digging into a beach read and sipping margaritas are also highly encouraged.
