Day 1 begins with a biodiversity workshop and expedition briefing. Our session introduces the interconnected ecosystems of Loreto Bay and the seasonal species that inhabit its waters and islands. You’ll learn how our explorations contribute to conservation and citizen science while preparing for the adventures ahead.

Day 2, we set out for Carmen Island at sunrise. As the first light paints the cliffs, keep watch for bighorn sheep along the ridges. We’ll circumnavigate the island in search of marine life such as dolphins, and r. A remote beach stop offers time for a delicious picnic lunch, snorkeling in turquoise waters, and learning about Carmen’s fascinating geology, flora, and history before returning to Loreto.

Day 3 takes us to Coronado Island, a volcanic island known for its breathtaking landscapes and white sandy beaches. We’ll snorkel in different spots, visit the playful sea lion colony, and take a short hike to explore the island’s volcanic terrain and coastal ecosystems.

Day 4 brings a long-distance marine expedition to either Montserrat Island or San Basilio. This journey offers the chance to encounter pelagic species and other marine megafauna while exploring some of Baja’s most remote coastlines. We’ll enjoy a freshly prepared local lunch on a secluded beach and snorkel in crystal-clear waters surrounded by pristine wilderness.

Day 5 leads us to Danzante Island and the southern region of the park, a sanctuary of untouched beaches and remarkable marine biodiversity. Along the way, we’ll search for marine wildlife, enjoy a picnic lunch on one of Danzante’s tranquil shores, and spend the afternoon snorkeling, exploring, or simply relaxing before returning to Loreto.
