Baja: Whale Watching and the Sea of Cortez

February 13, 2026
Women Only

Enjoy the perfect mix of wildlife adventure and coastal relaxation on this group trip to Baja. Travelers will begin with a scenic cruise to their beach camp on Isla Espíritu Santo, a UNESCO-listed uninhabited island famous for its turquoise waters and marine life. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming will be the perfect way to soak in the scenery before group drinks and dinner at sunset. One of the highlights of the trip will begin the next morning when the group goes snorkeling with Isla Espíritu Santo’s very own sea lion colony. The close encounters with these beautiful animals already make the island an unforgettable stop, but travelers should keep a look out because they may spot dolphins, sea turtles, whales, and manta rays while here too!

The group’s next stop is Magdalena Bay, where they’ll spend time out on the water watching gray whales up close in their yearly migration. The beautiful mangroves, tropical birds, and dolphins that frequent the bay make this stop not just a treasure trove for whale watching, but a nature lover’s paradise. With fresh group meals throughout the week, along with a Mexican cooking class and night of dancing to finish off the week, this trip is the perfect way to enjoy Baja’s gorgeous natural wonders. 

This 8-day trip is priced at $5,695 and led by AdventureWomen. All AdventureWomen trips are designed exclusively for and by women, aiming to empower women through travel.
