What travelers are saying

"I recently returned from the Costa Rican wildlife safari. I was a bit concerned with Covid however every place was extremely clean and had places for you to wash your hands before you even walked in. This was a trip I was actually supposed to go on in 2020 however it was postponed, waiting so long the expectations were high. I was definitely not disappointed! Patricia our guide was absolutely wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and cater to our every need. I would highly recommend this vacation. Also everyone that I met in the community was extremely gracious and kind. The majority of these people work on tourism and unfortunately in the last year have not had any. Booking this trip would not only be an amazing adventure for you but it would also be amazing for the people in the community"

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"When my partner and I went on a whale watching trip with Sea Kayak Adventures five years ago, we concluded that it was one of the best things we had ever done - especially the encounters with the grey whales in Magdalena Bay. I decided that I wanted an excuse to visit the whales again and I found this in a plan to go back with my family so that we could introduce them to my family and share their joy in this trip. As always, when organising such a treat, I was desperate that it would be as good a second time. I need not have worried, under the expert guidance of Monica (who amazingly had been a guide on our first trip) and Fabian our family group were wowed by whales that swam close, sky-hopped, breached and swam to our boat, rubbed against it, looked us in the eye mammal-to-mammal and then let us rub their skin. Wow oh wow! My niece even discovered that one whale had shared two of its sealice with her! Simply amazing and thanks to Monica and Fabian for sharing their knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise with us, and to Vicky for the excellent food."

La Paz, Mexico City

Highlights

  • January through March, hundreds of gray whales mate and bear their young in the protected waters of Magdalena Bay after traveling over 5000 miles from the Bering Strait. A motorized skiff will take you swiftly and safely into the deeper parts of the bay, where you won't just view the "mommy and me" action, you may be able to actually pet some of the whales that swim by.
  • Staying on the island at our camp provides you with the opportunity to be delighted by a host of other wildlife such as dolphins, seals, sea lions, sea gulls, pelicans and more often right from camp! Plush camping allows you to relax and enjoy the scenery while your professional naturalist guides provide you with dinner, drinks, and plenty of education.
  • After you have had your fill of breaching, and spy hopping whales then head back over to Loreto or La Paz for five days of Baja sea kayaking and camping on remote islands in Loreto Bay National Marine Park or Espiritu Santo, where the surrounding water is a sanctuary for blue-footed boobies, fin and blue whales, dolphins and sea lions.
  • Visit the Sea of Cortez is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers the perfect blend of Baja kayaking, hiking and snorkeling. Abundant wildlife, massive whales, sunny weather and warm, crystalline waters make the Sea of Cortez one of the best winter adventure destinations in North America and Mexico.
  • With each of these tours, your first and last nights will be hotel-based in Loreto or La Paz with an extra hotel night between kayaking and whale watching.

Mexico Tour Selection Trips

  • Mexico is large and diverse enough to warrant multiple tours; the Yucatan peninsula alone can easily fill more than one tour itinerary. 
  • If you’re concerned about safety, check U.S. State Department warnings about which areas to avoid; though most of the country is perfectly safe for travelers. 
  • If you want a taste of the “real Mexico,” choose a tour that includes accommodations in one or more of the country’s old haciendas, many of which have been renovated and reopened as luxury hotels. 
  • Some tours include immersive Spanish lessons where you can learn the language as well as explore the region.
  • A good tour of ancient history and culture might take you to Mexico City (for the pyramids outside town), the Yucatan (for the ruins at Chichen Itza and Tulum), and to Chiapas for the ruins at Palenque. 
  • Guides at archaeological sites have special certification issued by INAH - your tour operator should take advantage of their services
  • Be aware that Mexico is not necessarily ADA friendly. If you need special assistance, please ask the tour operator for details on how they will accommodate you
  • If meals are included on your trip, ask if they are local specialities or prepared to cater to a foreigner's palate. The former will provide a more authentic experience, especially for regional fare - much of what you may think of as “Mexican” is actually heavily Americanized.
  • If you choose to stay in an All-Inclusive, check that there are day tours that will suit your preferences
  • Remember that standards for lodging are different than in other countries. What a tour operator might call 5-star may be different than what you would call a 5-star. Authentic accommodations are often a real treat, but some guests feel more comfortable staying with familiar international chains
