Baja California

Baja California is where desert wilderness meets one of the world’s most dynamic seas. Lindblad Expeditions has explored the region since 1981, building a depth of knowledge that helps veteran captains and expedition teams read changing conditions, follow wildlife and shape each day around the best opportunities nature presents.

Cruise by panga among gray whales and their calves in Baja California’s sheltered lagoons and explore the Gulf of California, home to around one-third of the world’s cetacean species. Swim with playful sea lions at Los Islotes and watch pods of dolphins and leaping mobula rays from the ship’s bow. Naturalists, certified photo instructors and undersea specialists reveal Baja California as one interconnected ecosystem, from its cactus-studded shores and seabird colonies to the astonishing life hidden beneath the water’s surface. Wild and otherworldly, Baja California is made for expedition travel—a blissfully remote wilderness remarkably close to home.

“I can't recommend it enough…an unforgettable experience that I'd book again in a heartbeat.”
