6 Days • 5 Nights
Balandra sets an effortless first cadence, with glassy turquoise shallows, powdery white sand, and the famous mushroom rock framed by desert hills. Settle into a calm anchorage, swim in warm light, and watch the sky blush as evening falls.
Experience Highlights:
Caleta Partida opens like a natural amphitheater, a sheltered gap between volcanic ridges where water turns a deep emerald. Mornings invite quiet paddles along the cliff base; afternoons fade into a serene sunset and a sky crowded with stars.
Experience Highlights:
Los Islotes delivers the Sea of Cortez at its most alive, with playful sea lions and schools of reef fish in clear water. Move on to Ensenada Grande, a sweeping curve of sand often named among the world’s most beautiful.
Experience Highlights:
Isla San Francisco is Baja distilled to its essence, a perfect crescent of turquoise edged by red rock. The ridge trail reveals a panorama of chalk blue water and white sandbar below, while the bay stays calm for afternoon swims.
Experience Highlights:
Isla San José feels wonderfully remote, all mangrove lagoons, empty beaches, and open horizons. It is a day for unhurried discovery, from birdlife in the channels to bright snorkel spots along untouched coast.
Experience Highlights:
The return to La Paz floats past the sculpted cliffs of Espíritu Santo, with dolphins and rays often breaking the surface. Dusk paints the bay in soft color as you ease back to the marina for a final evening on the Malecón.
