Our pace is unhurried and our options are many. We will have the freedom to change course by 180 degrees to follow a pod of whales, go snorkeling and uncover a brilliant undersea world, or simply linger over a barbecue on an uninhabited island. Thus, the itinerary that follows is a general guideline, a thoughtfully considered framework based on our long experience in this region. This is a voyage undertaken in the spirit of discovery. Upon arrival, transfer directly to the ship and set sail on the Sea of Cortez.
Today is the day with the luxury of no specific plan.
Spend the morning searching for whales in the waters around Isla Danzante, an area which has proven to be one of the best for finding blue whales, and often bottlenose and common dolphins. Swim and snorkel in the clear bay of the anchorage. Islas Partida and Espiritu Santo Monday, February 11 With deeply indented shorelines and dramatically eroded cliff faces, Islas Partida and Espiritu Santo are perhaps two of the most beautiful islands in the Sea of Cortez. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, long walks, and maybe a beach barbecue. Tuesday, February 12 Spend the morning at the Gorda Banks sea mount, a gathering place for whales and dolphins.
