Tour Details

Experience the Sea of Cortez on board our vessel “Adventure”, just as Jacques Cousteau did, who considered it the World’s Aquarium due to its diversity of flora and fauna like no other in the world. There are 891 types of fish (of which 90 are endemic), and approximately 75% of the world’s marine mammal species are present, where the desert, the blue sea, and turquoise green enhance the beauty of the islands and make a unique combination that you can’t miss.

On this trip, you will discover and enjoy the beauty of nature, as well as engage in water activities and explore trails that will show you the secrets that the islands hold, or just relax and enjoy the incredible views with the sea breeze, where you can witness its incredible sunsets and starry nights with the Milky Way as your backdrop.
