Who we are

Baja Expedition is a small, local crew running guided snorkeling, whale trips, coastal cruises, and expert spearfishing out of La Paz. We're not a call-centre reseller or a cruise-day concession — every trip is run by the same people who own the boats.

That matters when you’re travelling. When you message us, you reach a guide, not a queue. When something changes with the weather, a real person makes the call and looks after you.

Our promises to you

Weather-proof booking

If we call a trip for wind or sea state, you get a full refund or a free reschedule — your choice.

Licensed & insured

Licensed boat captain and permitted operator, with liability coverage on every trip.

English-Spanish speaking guides

Local guides who speak fluent English & Spanish. You'll always understand the plan, brief & the story.

Honest, upfront pricing

The price you're quoted is the price you pay. No fuel surcharges, no pressure tips, no surprise add-ons.

Gear & safety kit included

Masks, fins, wetsuits, flotation, and a stocked first-aid and oxygen kit come standard on every boat.

Genuinely small groups

Most trips cap at eight guests to one guide. You're a guest, never a headcount on a packed deck.

Guía Principal de Apnea

Permitted & responsible

We operate by the rules that protect this place

The Sea of Cortez is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and much of where we go is protected. We run inside those protections — under permit, at legal distances, with strict no-touch and no-feed rules around wildlife.

It’s better for the animals, and it’s better for you: a relaxed whale or a curious sea lion gives you an encounter no crowded boat ever will.

Reseñas de

“Hemos hecho días de bote en todo México. Este fue el primero que se sintió como un amigo llevándonos a pasear, no como una fábrica. Vimos leones marinos de cerca y tuvimos la cala para nosotros solos.”

“Grupo pequeño, guías pacientes y tenían equipo que realmente les quedaba a nuestros hijos. Mateo pasó tiempo extra ayudando a nuestra hija a sentirse cómoda en el agua. Cada peso valió la pena.”

“Reservé el día de aguas azules como un pescador submarino con experiencia. Alejandro leyó las condiciones a la perfección y nos llevó hacia pelágicos de manera ética y segura.”

“La mañana de las ballenas grises fue lo mejor de todo nuestro viaje a Baja. Distancia respetuosa, sin persecuciones, y los guías claramente se preocupaban por los animales más que por la foto.”
