THE PREMIER TOUR OPTION
Aboard a Sailing Catamaran
or
96' Triple-Deck Cruising Yacht
All Inclusive - Award Winning
Escape to the breathtaking beauty of Isla Espíritu Santo, (Holy Spirit Island) a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is one of Mexico’s most pristine natural treasures, famously known as “the world’s aquarium.” A full-day adventure takes you into the heart of a protected marine paradise teeming with life and vibrant landscapes including Balandra Bay.
Your scenic expedition begins aboard a comfortable 60' Sailing Catamaran or a 96' Triple-Deck Cruising Yacht, to cruise crystal-clear waters, where dolphins and rays often accompany the ride. A perfect blend of adventure, education, and relaxation; discover isolated beaches, untouched bays, and the vibrant marine life of Espiritu Santo Island.
Throughout the day, enjoy chef-prepared meals, open bar service with cocktails, beers, and soft drinks. Snorkel gear and wetsuits are provided, along with kayaks, paddle boards, and non-motorized water toys. A bilingual naturalist guide on board will provide fascinating insight into the island’s unique geology, flora, and marine life. From friendly sea lions to tropical fish, sea turtles, mobula rays and dolphins, the island has it all.
This premier island adventure is loved by all. Some prefer to stay aboard enjoying a variety of cold drinks while being pampered by the crew. Others enjoy boarding our large stable snorkel boat to explore remote beaches, bays, and coves. There are multiple quiet beaches, surrounded by mangroves, and fascinating rock formations. We include kayaks, snorkel gear, fishing equipment, water toys, wetsuits, even reef-friendly sunscreen, along with a chef, meals, and open bar, an island guide and so much more. We have private bathrooms, fresh-water showers, towels, snacks, bottled water, sodas, and just about anything you might want.
Snorkel gear, flotation vests, snorkel-dive boats, beach towels, layout mattresses, cushions, and pillows, are all included. Weather permitting, the sails will be raised for a dramatic return cruise to the resort at Marina Palmira where guests will board our private ground transportation for their return trip to Cabo. On the return drive, there is a brief bathroom stop at the mythological Hotel California, made famous by the Eagles popular song of the same name, after which you will be returned to your pick-up location.
Caleta Partida, Ensenada el Cardinal, Ensenada Grande
Caleta Partida is the southern point of Isla Partida almost touching Isla Espiritu Santo. Caleta Partida is the crater of a large, extinct volcano that eroded below sea level with a large reef. A sand bar connects the two islands at low tide, making for an interesting walk about. At high tide taking a small service boat across to the west side of the island can be a real adventure. Ensenada el Cardinal is a long bay almost dividing the island. On both sides are steep cliffs separated by azure blue water and white sand. Ensenada Grande is reported to have been voted by two travel magazines as the most beautiful beach in all of Mexico.
San Rafaelito, Balandra, San Gabriel, and Playa Bonanza
San Rafaelito hosts a friendly sea Lion colony, coral heads and tropical fish. Balandra is the first bay in Mexico to receive the rating of EXCELLENT. It includes five distinct beaches in its outer banks. San Gabriel is a former pearl and oyster-bay, with a pristine white sand beach. A short hike across the island from San Gabriel takes you to Bonanza Bay, the least visited and longest beach on the island. At one end of Bonanza bay there is a reef and outstanding snorkel areas with massive numbers of colorful tropical fish.
Puerto Ballena, Isla Gallo, Isla Gallina, and Isla Ballena
Puerto Ballena, (Whale Port), is a subset of three separate bays: Ensenada la Gallina, Ensenada el Gallo, and Ensenada de la Raza. Puerto Ballena is stunning for its turquoise waters, coral heads, mangroves, and striated cliff sides. These three bays offer outstanding snorkeling options, and are beautiful beyond description. The Mexican Navy intentionally sunk the 184’ Fang Ming and the 118’ Lapas N03 a few hundred meters off shore in this area. Both have evolved into magnificent false reefs providing outstanding scuba options.
Typically, guests are picked up directly from the lobby entrance of their hotel or resort, but not always. Depending on a number of factors, guests may be requested to meet ground transport in a central location.
