Welcome to Mexico! Arrive in Los Cabos International Airport, then transfer to Todos Santos for the first night of your adventure in Baja.
After breakfast, you’ll transfer to La Paz. A scenic boat ride will take you to your home for the next three nights in the Isla Espiritu Santo National Marine Park. Settle into your private tent, explore your stunning surroundings, and enjoy a wonderful meal prepared on-site.
The next two days are yours to enjoy everything Isla Espiritu Santo has to offer - guided kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkeling in the pristine water, island hikes, or simply strolling the beach. You can swim with sea lions, visit rookeries, and spot Baja's wildlife, as the bilingual naturalist guides share their deep knowledge of the area. Toast to each amazing day with a nightly happy hour and delicious food, then retire in comfortable dome tents - under starry skies - with real beds and lovely linens.
The adventure continues today with the possibility of swimming with whale sharks in the shallows of the Bay of La Paz as they feed on plankton. Then, you'll return to Todos Santos. The village is home to beautiful colonial buildings, Mexican art and crafts, and delicious food. Relax, surf and explore.
After breakfast, join a local wrangler for an exciting morning on horseback, exploring miles of beautiful white-sand beaches. This afternoon, head south of Todos Santos for a surfing lesson complete with the guarantee that you’ll ride a wave, even if just for a moment!
A spectacular guided hike will take you along the ruggedly beautiful coast past a sea lion colony. After the hike, enjoy a picnic lunch on an idyllic beach in the shade of towering palm trees. Then, to celebrate your last night...it's your choice. Either follow a foodie guide to their favorite local spots in the cobblestoned streets of Todos Santos or take a Mexican cooking class with a local chef and learn to make some truly delicious dishes.
Adios Baja - the time has come for your private transfer back to San Jose del Cabo to connect with international homebound flights.
Ocean views and a tranquil setting make this homey property the perfect retreat—all about a mile from the artsy town of Todos Santos. Accommodations are in stand-alone casitas, each well-appointed and with a variety of bedding configuration options. The lovely grounds boast loads of native tropical flowers, as well as an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub. Sip coffee on the patio, watch for whales on your beach walks, and consider visiting the nearby turtle reserve. From your casa you can watch the fishermen cast their nets on the beach in the early morning light, wait for the green flash of a magnificent Baja sunset in the late afternoon, and enjoy the vast expanse of a star-filled sky at night. Los Colibris is just a 10-minute walk to 70 miles of pristine, virtually empty beach, and a 5-minute drive to the delightful restaurants, artists’ galleries and shops of Todos Santos.
Your off-the-grid, fully staffed, safari-style camp is right on one of Isla Espiritu Santo’s most beautiful beaches. Each of the eight deluxe walk-in tents has comfortable beds with Egyptian cotton linens and rugs. Guests share two compost toilet cabanas and a solar-heated shower. An on-site chef prepares fresh, delicious meals and offers up daily happy hour treats. Your experience on the island is all inclusive, with guides available to lead kayaking, SUP, snorkeling, and boat excursions to facilitate your immersion in this remarkable ecosystem - both in and out of the water!
Africa. Just think of it! From the dancing sands of the Sahara Desert to the thunderous cascades of Victoria Falls, encompassing the Maasai Mara and the Skeleton Coast, the continent presents the traveler with destinations so diverse and opportunities for discovery so great that it would take dozens of lifetimes just to see the highlights.

From the panhandle, the waters of the Okavango spread across the sands of the Kalahari […]
