We'll take you to breathtaking private beaches where you can explore by kayak, to turquoise coves for a snorkel with the sea lions, and inland to where the giant cardón cactus grows. Complete your cruise with a journey into amazing Copper Canyon. Visit rustic towns deep in the Sierra Madres where you will rise over 8,000 feet and pass through more than 68 tunnels in this maze of 200 gorges.

	DAY 1 ARRIVE IN CABO SAN LUCAS   Transfer from Los Cabos Airport to Cruise West's hospitality area at Cabo's inner harbor. Board your ship and sail into the Sea of Cortés.
	DAY 2 ISLA ESPIRITÚ SANTO   This 23,383-acre island near La Paz is centered in one of the most biologically diverse marine areas in the world and is a major environmental success story. Several plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world, including the blacktailed jack rabbit and antelope squirrel.
	DAY 3 WHALE WATCHING This whole day is spent pursuing up-close viewing of marine life. The Sea of Cortés is home to huge schools of common and bottle-nosed dolphins, as well as humpback, minke, fin, and blue whales.
	DAY 4 ISLAND EXPLORATION Guided by the weather and tides, visit one of the beautiful and special islands of the Sea of Cortés. Exploration will possibly include nature hikes, kayaking, and snorkeling.
	DAY 5 LORETO Founded in 1697, Loreto's Nuestra Señora de Loreto Mission was the original 'mother' church from which all the other California missions were founded, eventually leading as far north as Sonoma, California.
	DAY 6 LOS ISLOTES & ISLA PARTIDA   Los Islotes is a steep seamount punctured by sea caves. Blue-footed boobies reside on the cliffs, and a large colony of California sea lions haul out on the rocks below.
	DAY 7 LA PAZ Today, your ship ties up at the central waterfront of Baja California Sur's capital and largest city, which was founded in the 1530s. Explore the shops, gelater í as, and the miles-long waterfront malecón or promenade.
