Adventure
The Jewel - of Sea of Cortez
Due to it's rich flora and fauna, and it's importance as an eco-tourism destination, Espíritu Santo Island is a protected area and was declared part of a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1995. This beautiful island is located in the sea of Cortez a few miles off the coast of La Paz, in the state of Baja California Sur, which is two hours north of Cabo. It is separated from Partida Island by a narrow canal. The island and the surrounding crystal-clear waters are home to sea lions, turtles, manta rays, dolphins, sharks, birds and even whales. The island has many different beaches where you can take walks, go for a swim or just enjoy the gorgeous scenery that only the Sea of Cortez can offer.
Our tours operate 365 days a year. We have different sized boats to fit all your needs. All boats are insured and have permits for operation. They are all equipped with life jackets and snorkeling equipment. There will always be a well trained guide on board to help you get the most out of your adventure.
The tour is located at the elite Cortez Club in La Paz. Here you will find the only PADI 5 star dive resort in La Paz for over 25 years now and the only operator in Baja proud of the Highest level in Ecotourism with the NOM133 Certification. This guarantees that all standards and procedures are of the highest level with trained captains, guides and dive masters recognized worldwide.
