Snorkeling & Kayaking

Snorkeling with a gentle Whale Shark

About half of the guests that visit Baja Outpost come to snorkel.  The snorkeling is so wonderfull especially between June to November when visibility reaches 100 plus feet.  However, we offer snorkeling trips yearound.All the reefs that we travel to scuba dive in,  are perfect for snorkeling as well. The majority of the marine life in the Sea of Cortez is found in the shallower depth up to 50 feet.

In addition to our regular snorkeling trips, we offer special snorkeling trips such as: Snorkeling with Sea Lions, Dolphins, and Mantas. Our trips are suitable to children and to senior citizens alike.  Typically we visit 2 to 3 different reefs in one day.

The white sandy beaches with torquoise waters found at the islands of Loreto National Marine Park, are among the most beautifull beaches found anywhere.

The boat follows the snorkelers about 50 feet away, so that one can climb back to the boat whenever a rest is needed.  For the last comfortable in the water, we will provide a live vest to ensure safety.

We offer basic instruction and our divemasters and captains are always very attentive to each individual need, especially those needing phisycal help getting off and back into the boats.

The following table describes the species found in the Sea of Cortez throughout the year
