Day 1: Welcome to Baja – Arrival & Sunset Meet-Up in La Paz

Welcome to the magical peninsula of Baja California Sur—where desert landscapes meet turquoise seas, and every moment is infused with wild beauty and rich flavor.

You may choose to arrive at either:

  • Los Cabos International Airport (SJD)– we’re happy to help coordinate a private or shared scenic transfer to La Paz (approx. 5 hours).
  • La Paz International Airport (LAP)– just a short ride from your hotel in the city center.

Upon arrival, check into our boutique hotel located steps from the charming La Paz malecón, a vibrant oceanfront promenade lined with cafés, sculptures, and views of the Sea of Cortez. Take time to unwind, explore, or dip your toes in the warm sea breeze.

At 6:00 PM, join your expedition leader and fellow travelers for a welcome briefing in the hotel lobby. You’ll get a full overview of the adventure ahead, receive local insider tips, and connect with your guide.

Dinner is on your own tonight, giving you the freedom to explore La Paz’s culinary scene—from casual marisquerías serving up just-caught seafood to stylish restaurants reimagining Baja’s rustic flavors. Your guide will be happy to share their favorite spots.

Accommodation: Hotel Catedral, La Paz
Meals Included: None (Dinner on your own)

Fuel up with an early breakfast before setting off on a day that feels straight out of a nature documentary. Board a boat bound for Espíritu Santo Island, a UNESCO-protected gem in the Sea of Cortez

Spend the day:

  • Snorkeling with playful sea lions in crystal-clear waters
  • Exploring dramatic volcanic cliffs and hidden beaches
  • Enjoying a gourmet beach picnic in a private cove surrounded by turquoise waters

Return to La Paz in the late afternoon to refresh before dinner at Los 32 Sabores, where bold, regionally inspired flavors meet modern Mexican creativity.

Today’s adventure is unforgettable: swim alongside whale sharks, the gentle giants of the sea. These plankton-feeding behemoths visit the bay seasonally, and you’ll have the rare chance to observe or snorkel beside them in their natural habitat (conditions permitting).

After your marine adventure, enjoy a delicious lunch featuring La Paz’s iconic fish tacosmade with the freshest local catch.

In the evening, prepare for a highlight of the trip: an exclusive culinary experience with Chef Luis González, a visionary in Baja cuisine. Gather around as he crafts a multi-course meal rooted in the ancestral traditions and flavors of the region from ancient ranchero techniques to the spices of early settlers and sea-faring pirates.
