About this experience
The experience is distinguished by offering more real time in the destinations, a careful and humane service, and logistics designed for you to enjoy without rush or crowds. We leave from strategic marinas closer to the island, which allows us to make better use of the day and reduce sailing times.
We visit unspoilt and quiet beaches, snorkel with sea lions responsibly, and close the day in Balandra at sunset, one of the most special moments of the tour. All this accompanied by fresh Punta Baja style foods, drinks included, comfortable boats and certified guides that really engage in your experience.
The same island... what changes is who you live with.
