Founded in 1697 as Baja’s first spanish mission, Loreto blends colonial history with access to Loreto Bay National Park, where volcanic islands like Coronados, Danzante , Carmen, Monserrat and Catalana offer snorkeling, hiking, and wildlife encounters. A true epicenter of wildlife.

Citizen Science & Regenerative Tourism
We are committed to caring for species, communities, and ecosystems through every expedition we lead. As our planet continues to change, we believe that even small, intentional actions on the water can contribute to something much larger.
Through our citizen science efforts, each adventure becomes an opportunity to collect meaningful data that supports ongoing research and a deeper understanding of marine ecosystems. From wildlife observations to environmental conditions, the information gathered helps identify patterns, track regional changes, and contribute to the protection of biodiversity.
Our approach is rooted in regenerative tourism—going beyond minimizing impact to actively contribute to the health of the ecosystems we explore. By integrating science, education, and responsible exploration, we aim to create experiences that not only inspire, but also give back to the natural world
Every expedition is a step toward understanding, preserving, and regenerating the ocean for future generations.

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.

Regi and Leo gave my family an incredible day trip. We chose them for their focus on sustainability and kid-friendly experiences, and they did not disappoint. Our 5-year-old and 3-year-old were thrilled to see whales and dolphins up close, and Regi took special care of them. We can’t wait to come back again!

100% RECOMMENDED! I've been researching marine mammals for 10 years and have been on numerous marine expeditions, and I dare say that the tourism experience with BAJA ADVENTURES is the best I've ever had. Regi, Leo, and Jorge (the captain) are incredible people and know the area very well. With them, the trip to sea isn't just about seeing animals in the sea; they also provide a wealth of information about the local fauna. After a day with them, you'll not only see incredible things, you'll also learn a lot about behavior, distribution, anatomy, and much more. Their vision of sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism is fantastic.

Without a doubt, one of the best tours I have taken to responsibly enjoy the wonders of our sea. It was an incredible experience to have Regi, Leo, and Captain Jorge share their knowledge of the area and the very special wildlife we encountered. We saw thousands of common and bottlenose dolphins, mobulas, blue-footed boobies, American oystercatchers nesting, thousands of sardines, and other species. They were definitely super professional, took great care of us, their boat is immaculate, and of course, we will return in February to visit the blue whale! No one better than them to take us! A thousand thanks for this trip that brought me back to my roots.

This is more than a whale watching tour, this is an expedition. Very interesting and science based. The national park of Loreto is beautiful. Regi and Leo are so passionate about their job and it is refreshing to see how much they care about nature, they approach it with the most respect.
The boat is very comfortable and safe and equipped, it also has a clean toilet to use. They provide blankets, food, coffee and water to enjoy throughout the trip. I would love to come back and experience a second expedition with them.
I highly recommend Baja Adventures!- Jorge Garza

HIRE THEM, You won’t regret it. Regina and Leo are fonts of knowledge on conservation, ecology and biodiversity. We had a beautiful, sunset horseback ride along the beach, with Miguel’s healthy, happy horses. We then walked on foot along the low tide flats in the brackish estuary, taking in the beauty, and discussing the importance of protecting the Loreto ecosystem. They are passionate about sustainable tourism, and are lovely humans. The entire experience was sublime. Cannot recommend them enough!
