La Paz Adventure 2019
To say we were excited for this fall getaway to the Sea of Cortez would be an understatement! La Paz is one of those rare places where the desert meets the sea in a spectacular display of life. We spent a week immersing ourselves in what Jacques Cousteau famously called the 'World's Aquarium,' striking the perfect balance between high-octane diving and the relaxed, boutique pace of Baja life. From the moment we touched down and began the scenic drive north, we knew this was going to be a week defined by incredible marine encounters and even better company.
Day by day
Day 1
Arrival in Baja
After landing in Los Cabos, we embarked on a scenic transfer across the desert. We made sure to break up the journey with a legendary stop for snacks and refreshments along the route. By late afternoon, we settled into our waterfront home for the week, allowing everyone time to unpack, hit the pool, and get into 'vacation mode' before an orientation dinner overlooking the marina.
Day 2
The Adventure Begins
We kicked off our first day of diving in the Sea of Cortez. The rhythm of the week established itself quickly: a hearty breakfast followed by a short transfer to our dive boat. After a day of exploring the local reefs, we gathered for a group dinner at a local favorite known for its fresh seafood and vibrant atmosphere.
Day 3
Malécon Evenings
Another spectacular day on the water exploring the diversity of La Paz's dive sites. In the evening, we took a stroll along the famous Malécon, the city's iconic boardwalk. We enjoyed the sea breeze and selected a spot for a relaxed dinner where the local flavors of Mexico really shone through.
Day 4
Birthdays & Mobula Magic
This was a day of true celebration. After our daytime dives, we returned to the resort to rest up for a very special event: a Mobula Ray Night Dive. Watching these graceful rays dance through the water under the dive lights is a bucket-list experience that left everyone buzzing with excitement.
From the trip
From the travelers
“The mobula night dive was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. It felt like watching an underwater ballet.”
“This trip was the perfect balance of world-class diving and great social time. The beach BBQ was the cherry on top!”
Baja has a way of staying with you long after the sand has been washed off your gear. Between the playful sea lions of the islands and the mesmerizing dance of the mobulas under the lights, this trip reminded us why we love sharing these remote corners of the world. We are already looking forward to our next adventure into the blue!
