Whale Sharks β€” Not in Cabo

UNESCO Island 30 Min Away

Isla Espiritu Santo β€” a World Heritage site with sea lions, rays, and reefs that Cabo cannot match.

3

891+ Species vs Cabo's Crowds

The Sea of Cortez has 39% of the world's marine mammals. Your tour group has max 10 people.

4

The Real Baja California Sur

La Paz is the state capital. It has been the heart of Baja since CortΓ©s landed here in 1535.
