Baja Peninsula & Sea Of Cortez

Easygoing San Diego embodies the Southern California surfer town fantasy, with its more than 300 days of sun, mild year-round temperatures and accessible, sporty pastimes and tourist attractions. Cruise to San Diego and hike the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve to get a glimpse of whale migrations, go sailing in the bay and, of course, surf the famous swells of Del Mar, Oceanside and La Jolla (among many other superb spots). Cruise from San Diego and explore the sixth-largest city in the United States. Discover San Diego’s distinctive neighborhoods on a San Diego shore excursion. Visit Old Town, North Park, Point Loma and Coronado are all within a few miles of the port, while the bustling Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy are within walking distance.

And while there are lots of things to do for everyone on a San Diego Cruise—from visiting the country’s largest urban park to taking in the famous horse-racing season in Del Mar to riding the charming Old Town Trolley—definitely don’t pass up the chance to investigate San Diego’s quickly growing reputation as a culinary destination. Its inventive new restaurants and huge craft-brewing industry are something to be explored.

Een rustige manier van leven is in overvloed aanwezig in La Paz, wat ‘vrede’ betekent. Onder zijn eenvoudige genoegens: een wandeling door de met palmbomen beschaduwde Malecón, luieren op de prachtige stranden van het nabijgelegen schiereiland Pichilingue, snorkelen in de saffierzeeën bij het mooie Los Islotes, de thuisbasis van een kolonie nieuwsgierige zeeleeuwen.

This peaceful seaside community, founded in 1697 by Jesuit priest and explorer Juan Maria Salvatierra, was the first European settlement in the Californias. Stroll the cobbled plaza to the Mision Nuestra Se ora de Loreta, burnished with years of devotion; commune with nature as you snorkel the crystal-clear lagoons of Isla Coronados. Sample shore excursions: Loreto Walking Tour; San Javier Mission; Snorkeling at Isla Coronados.

Op het puntje van het schiereiland Baja, waar de blauwe Stille Oceaan zich vermengt met de Zee van Cortez in een werveling van aquarellen. Nog spectaculairder: wateren vol met marlijn, zwaardvis, zeilvis, tonijn en andere vechtvissen. Feest je ogen op prachtige zwarte koraal; neem de jaarlijkse migratie van de grijze walvis op.
