Welcome to a new kind of getaway

We’ve teamed up with exhale to create a 5 day Wildness + Wellness adventure in Mexico’s shimmering Sea of Cortez, aboard the National Geographic Venture. Board your floating base camp in Cabo, and you’ll head to Espíritu Santo and Isla Partida, two of the loveliest islands in the Sea—to actively explore unsullied landscapes, revel in pure nature, and enjoy exhale’s award-winning wellbeing programs.

A break from the ordinary, featuring revitalizing opportunities:

• Exult in the pristine beauty of the Sea of Cortez—azure water, bays, beaches, unique flora and fauna— and roam free in wide-open spaces
• Stroll long, white sand beaches in search of pearl oyster shells
• Snorkel among playful sea lions and schools of colorful reef fish
• Kayak along beautifully carved coastlines
• Challenge body and mind with exhale fitness classes including Core Fusion Bootcamp, restorative Chill Yoga, and more
• Take in panoramic views or landscapes of black lava and pink volcanic ash on exhale mindfulness hikes + post-hike assisted stretching sessions
• Find balance on the water with exhale paddleboard yoga classes
• Enjoy a sunset beach BBQ, bonfire, and end your day with stargazing
• Stay mindful with daily guided exhale meditation sessions

Only here, only us
For years, developers have tried to put resorts, condominiums, even a casino, on Espíritu Santo. The Mexican NGO community, in partnership with others around the world, has fought against this and prevailed.  No permanent structures of any kind mar the beauty of Espíritu Santo or its small neighbor, Isla Partida.

What we offer you is unique and effortless access—to wild beauty and pristine nature— for 5 days / 4 nights, using our ship, National Geographic Venture, as a base camp. You’ll accomplish what the developers could not—the opportunity to alight in this wild beautiful place, and participate in exhale’s resort-quality fitness classes, yoga options, mindful meditations and more. 

Better yet, you can freely roam. Our ship is akin to a safari camp in Africa—comfortable, in the heart of things, yet mobile. Everything you want is aboard—snorkeling gear, paddleboards, kayaks and Zodiacs, a welcoming crew, smart naturalists, a wellness specialist, exhale fitness instructors, and even a Lindblad/National Geographic photo instructor to help you up your photo game and capture all the ops.

Every day we’ll anchor in a new location, and you’ll have your choice of things to do from a strolling beachcomb to a kick-butt Core Fusion Boot Camp. And a beach BBQ as dusk shades into starlit night, or a Chill Yoga session on deck are some of the soul-lifting ways we’ll end our active days.
