WHAT YOU VISIT
Baja Ocean Wonders & Scalloping Experience
Learn how to hunt and harvest scallops where tradition and sustainable fishing have led to the survival of callo de hacha, a rare species of scallop native to the Sea of Cortez. Your transportation will pick you up at the pier and after a briefing, you'll climb into the boat and cruise to the shallow waters off the coast of Baja where you'll join a five-generation family of fishermen eager to share their artisanal trade. After donning your snorkel gear and life vests, you'll slip into the refreshing waters that average 21°-29°C (70°-85°F). Then, under the watchful eye of an expert, you'll learn how to pluck these tasty mollusks from the seabed or, if you prefer, enjoy snorkeling in the bay's pristine waters for an up-close view of the process.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
The Baja peninsula has the largest concentration of marine animals in the world so keep a keen eye out for playful dolphins, graceful turtles, manta rays and more.
LUNCH
Your adventure concludes at the stunning El Mogote beach, where you can relax under shaded tents and savor the freshest "Catch of the Day" ceviche, prepared just for you.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
During the trip, you'll stop at Isla Malvinas, a sandy oasis just off the shoreline, where you'll learn the fascinating history behind its name and discover the diverse species inhabiting its waters.
