Baja for Adventurous Families

RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 6+
B aja, with its breathtaking landscapes and exotic flora and fauna, has something to offer everyone in your family - regardless of age or interests. Our latest destination includes a little bit of everything: beautiful scenery, culture, wildlife, action and relaxation.
You'll kick off the adventure in Todos Santos, which has been officially declared a Pueblo Magico (Magical Town). Your first few days will be hard to top - they'll be spent hiking through gorgeous desert canyons, picnicking, horseback riding along the beach, surfing, and getting to know some of the locals.
From here, you'll travel to La Paz, the beautiful beachside capital of Baja. Your family will spend a day here kayaking and picnicking in the gorgeous and secluded Balandra Bay. This area is unbelievably scenic with its amazing natural rock formations, turquoise water and extraordinary wildlife.
Just when you think this adventure can't get any better- how does swimming and snorkeling with sea lions sound? At Los Islotes, a permanent colony of sea lions will greet you and (fingers crossed) play with you, diving, flipping, and twirling in the water.
Think you just won't be ready to go home yet at this point? Ask about our special February departure, which includes extra time for whale watching, too!
