Description
Experience a one-of-a-kind 3-in-1 journey aboard a glass-bottom boat. Start with a 45-minute panoramic ride across the Sea of Cortez, taking in famous landmarks like Pelican Rock, Neptune’s Finger, the Window to the Pacific, Scooby Doo Rock, El Arco, the sea lion colony, and the striking scenery of Land’s End. Then, we head out to spot magnificent humpback whales, enjoying up to 20 minutes watching them in their natural environment. To wrap it up, we stop at beautiful shores such as Lover’s Beach, Pelican Beach, and Medano Beach, where you’ll have time to unwind and explore. This private, tailor-made experience is perfect for families or small groups.
