Experience a magical sunset adventure.

Around Coronados Island, nestled within the breathtaking Loreto Bay National Park, the marine life dances to the rhythm of the seasons. Depending on the time of year, you may be fortunate to witness graceful dolphins, majestic whales, mobulas, orcas, and playful sea lions, and a vibrant array of seabirds, all weaving the rich tapestry of this protected marine sanctuary.

Our sunset adventure begins with a cruise through the pristine waters of the marine park, where we search for magnificent marine megafauna. After exploring and snorkeling in the vibrant underwater world, we will prepare a beautiful picnic setup on the island, where you can enjoy a delicious appetizer as the sun gracefully begins to set.

The day concludes watching the golden hour cast its warm glow behind the majestic Sierra de la Giganta mountains on our way back to Loreto, a truly unforgettable sight.

This adventure is perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends looking to connect with nature through three wonderful activities: wildlife cruising, snorkeling, and a serene sunset experience.
