Embark on a Journey to Baja California With Lindblad Expeditions

A Day in Baja California offers the chance to explore remote desert isles and abundant sea life—perhaps even spotting a whale up close from a Zodiac. 

 

Baja California’s arid subtropical desert offers warm, sunny days from December through April, with cooler evenings that call for light layers. 

In Baja California, contrast abounds as you snorkel with playful sea lions, hike desert canyons and dunes or take a stand-up paddleboard or kayak into mangrove tendrils or secluded sea caves in pursuit of serenity—all capped by legendary sunsets. 

Among the Great Whales invites you to explore Baja California’s pristine coastlines, where you may encounter dolphins, sea lions, and multiple whale species, venture into lagoons for close gray whale encounters, and enjoy a mix of desert hikes, undersea wonders, and legendary sunsets. 

Baja California Discovery takes you deep into the Gulf of California to experience its hidden treasures, curated by veteran naturalists and inspired by Sven Lindblad’s pioneering explorations more than 40 years ago. 

Sail along the Baja California peninsula aboard a small, purpose-built ship to explore the diverse landscapes and incredible biodiversity of both Magdalena Bay and the Gulf of California, offering daily opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, and hiking among sea lions, mangroves, and desert cacti. 

Embark on a unique early-winter journey from Los Angeles to Loreto, sailing alongside migrating humpback whales and seabirds from the endemic-rich Channel Islands National Park, past Mexico's Valle de Guadalupe wine country, and down the pristine, sea life-filled coastline of Baja California.
