One of the best tours I've ever been on. We chose Baja Adventures because they advertised kid-friendly experiences and we weren't disappointed! They suggested we move our trip a day earlier for better conditions and it was perfect. We saw tons of dolphins, whales, and rays. Jorge, Leo, and Regi were so attentive, knowledgeable, and warm. My little kids loved learning about marine mammals from Regi, and the entire crew was constantly looking for wildlife and showing us special spots. Their enthusiasm was infectious and we felt so well taken care of. We'll definitely book a tour with them again in the future!

It was one of the best ecotourism tours I have attended. The guides were very professional and knowledgeable. Both the marine and land expeditions were very well organized. All small details to make us comfortable were well thought.
The gear and equipment were new and safe. The guides were bilingual. It was a lot of fun and educational. I have learned a lot. Thank you! I will come back.

We had the most incredible 3 days exploring remote beaches and diving for almejas in Mulege, mule riding to an oasis in the Sierra and freediving with dolphins and sea lions around the Loreto islands. Regi and Leo make an incredible team and their passion and commitment to preserving Baja's biodiversity and the place they call home is truly inspiring. They are knowledgable, well prepared and made sure we were kept up to date on every detail of our trip. My only regret is not having more days!

It's the best experience I've had in my many years of traveling and conserving marine species. It's not for tourists, but for travelers and ocean enthusiasts. At Baja Adventures, you feel part of the ecosystem, respecting and lovingly caring for this wonderful place that is Loreto Bay National Park. Regina knows and communicates the history of each site and species, their environment, and their role in the ecosystem. Leo ensures that everything runs safely and cautiously, sharing stories of history and culture—a dynamic duo. I only travel with companies that know what they're doing, respecting and contributing to keeping Loreto and Baja wild forever.

At Baja Adventures, they have the absolute best: Regi and Leo—a wonderful couple who are not only passionate about preserving wildlife and ecosystems but also incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely warm-hearted.
Their attention to detail and customer-focused approach took this experience far beyond anything I could have imagined. Every moment was thoughtfully curated, making it one of the best wildlife experiences of my life!
