Baja, Mexico cruise features close up encounters with marine life
Seattle, WA, September 8, 2014—Beginning January 2015, Un-Cruise Adventures
offers a new adventure cruise in Mexico’s Sea of Cortés wrapping the
best marine life adventures into one itinerary. The 84-guest Safari
Endeavour sails the weeklong Baja’s Bounty! Whale Sharks, Whales & Mobulas itinerary roundtrip from San José del Cabo, Baja, Mexico.
“We’re
simplifying our itinerary choices and ensuring each guest has the best
experiences included in their cruise adventure,” said Captain Dan
Blanchard, CEO. “Depending on the time of year, you may snorkel with
whale sharks or you may see gray whales and their calves up close.”
From
November-March, Safari Endeavour explores the marine-rich waters of the
sea and scenic, remote desert islands on weeklong adventures from San
José del Cabo, Baja. The Sea of Cortés is a UNESCO World Heritage Site
and Biosphere Reserve, once described by Jacques Cousteau as the
“world’s aquarium.”
The
new itinerary launching in January combines active explorations with
seasonal sea life encounters. When gray whales arrive to calve in Bahía
Magdalena, an overland tour to board panga boats and see whales and
calves up close is included (usually January-March). At other times of
the year, a snorkeling excursion in Bahía de La Paz may bring guests up
close to the largest known fish in the sea—gentle whale sharks.
Exploration
cruising allows for a flexible itinerary with time to seek out
wildlife. Other areas visited include Isla San Francisco, Isla San José,
Bahía Agua Verde, Isla Coronados, Los Islotes, Ensenada Grande and Isla
Cerralvo. A half-day port call in Loreto includes a guided walking tour
of the historic town.
Desert
hiking, a mule ride into the arroyo, whale watching, snorkeling,
kayaking, paddle boarding, skiff excursions and snorkeling with sea
lions are included on all cruises. Dolphins – often in large pods, many
types of whales, blue-footed boobies, sea turtles, flying mobulas,
pelicans, frigate birds, manta rays and other creatures make frequent
appearances. Winter holiday departures are scheduled for December 20
and 27, 2014; and December 19 and 26, 2015. Theme departures include
ornithology, marine biology, photography and Kids in Nature.
The
inclusive Mexico cruise includes all activities; exquisite meals; fine
wine, premium spirits and microbrews; hot tub, sauna, exercise
equipment, yoga on deck and a massage for wellness; transfers; and all
port charges, taxes and fees. Rates begin at US$2,995 per person,
