Itinerary: How the ocean safari + glamping experience works
Day 1 – Arrival in Baja California Sur
Fly into either Los Cabos (SJD) or La Paz (LAP). Guests arriving in Los Cabos will enjoy a complimentary transfer from SeeCreatures Cabo to La Paz for hotel check-in.
In the evening, meet your fellow adventurers over a welcome dinner and naturalist briefing, where we’ll share the plan for the days ahead and the remarkable marine life that awaits in the Sea of Cortez.
Day 2 – First Ocean Safari & Glamping on Cerralvo Island
Take an early breakfast at the hotel, ready for a day of adventure. Before heading out on our 48-ft fast boat for your first naturalist-guided ocean safari, with snorkelling opportunities throughout the day.
Keep watch for orcas, great whales, sea lions, dolphins, schooling mobula rays, and even whale sharks.
In the late afternoon, arrive at our glamping camp on Cerralvo Island. Enjoy some welcome champagne and settle into your private en-suite tent before enjoying cocktail hour, dinner, and spectacular Mexican night skies.
Day 3 – Ocean Safari & Island Exploration
Spend another exciting day on the water before returning to camp in the afternoon.
Your island base is also perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or snorkelling.
Day 4 – Final Safari & Return to La Paz
Enjoy a final ocean safari day before returning to La Paz in the late afternoon for your hotel stay.
Free time over dinner, a chance to explore downtown La Paz, known for its vibrant street art, ocean-themed sculptures, and scenic malecón (boardwalk) overlooking the Sea of Cortez.
Day 5 – Departure or Continue the Adventure
After breakfast and checkout, guests returning to Los Cabos depart by 8:00 a.m. to connect with outgoing flights.
If you have more time in Baja, we invite you to continue the journey. In early April, you could join our signature adventure; luxury fly-in glamping experience at San Ignacio Lagoon for one of the most extraordinary gray whale encounters on the planet.
Possible Wildlife Sightings
Accommodation: What to expect at our pop-up glamping camp
Important Note: Our camps operate with the permission of the National Park Service. Designed as temporary pop-up camps, they are carefully created to offer comfort while maintaining a strict zero-impact footprint on the island environment.
Beach camping can be hot in the Sea of Cortez. With over five decades of experience in Baja, our tents are specially designed for the heat. Flow through ventilation, double reflecting “fly” shade, and battery-powered swamp coolers reduce the inside temperature by 15-20°F.
We are not allowed to use generators on the islands, so lights and charging stations are solar powered. 24-hour power, AC, and Starlink are always available on the mothership.
CPAPs in camp can be specially accommodated with advance notice.
