When famed marine explorer Jacques Cousteau described the Bay of Loreto as “The World’s Aquarium,” exploring these waters should be at the top of your list.

During the winter months, the bay attracts Blue and Gray whales. Loreto Sea & Land Tours offers exciting boat trips to get as close to these behemoths as possible, legally. Witnessing the Blue, which is the largest animal on earth, or a Gray nursing her newborn calf, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you’re a diver or wish to get PADI certified, this outfitter has you covered. With over 40 dive spots an hour from the marina, your dive master can tailor-make an underwater adventure to suit your skill level and the water conditions.

As discussed above, visiting Isla Coronados will appeal to animal lovers and sun worshippers. The 25-minute boat ride will have you at the sugar-white beach in no time, where you can snorkel, witness a Sea Lion colony, and enjoy lunch beneath a palapa.

For those drawn to the mountains, excursions into the Sierra de la Giganta add something different. The roads wind through canyons to sites like the San Javier Mission, built in 1699 and still standing strong. The drive itself offers remarkable views and a peek into rural Baja life.

Anglers will be drawn to the sportfishing packages, while the sunset cruise and horseback trail ride are ideal for families.
