As our Expedition Leader Rab Cummings says, “hard to get up, good to be up!” Guests getting read and putting on snorkeling gear before entering the water from one of our Zodiacs.

Sailing south overnight on National Geographic Venture, on the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez, we arrived at a California sea lion haul out site on the rocky outcrops of Los Islotes for an early morning snorkel excursion. We spent the afternoon and evening at the delightful seaport of La Paz with time to explore the lively streets before enjoying a celebration of Mexican cultural performances with dinner served on the Malecon at sunset.

About the Author

Andrew Peacock

Naturalist/Certified Photo Instructor

Andrew was born in Adelaide, South Australia and (mis)spent his youth surfing and kayaking in the ocean, as is the case for many Aussies! After graduating from medical school, he spent a year working as a surgical resident in Santa Barbara, California where he also began rock climbing. Taking up this new activity with a passion, Andrew began to explore the mountainous regions of the world and volunteered his medical skills in Nepal and India where he has since led numerous treks. Documenting his experiences with a camera led Andrew into the world of professional photography and he began contributing photos to what was then the Lonely Planet image library. So began a ‘sideline career’ using the creative side of his brain.
