Baja- Exploration Among the Great Whales

Baja Peninsula, Mexico

Only a select few experiential travel programs in the world can match the personal enrichment provided on a National Geographic ship with Lindblad Expeditions. The perfect setting for small groups and retreats, these expeditions offer a wonderful balance of business and learning with first-class hospitality and extraordinary wildlife encounters. In the Sea of Cortez, whales, dolphins, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, huge cardon cacti, mangroves and sand dunes are among the wonders you’ll encounter. Share life experiences with your top performers, colleagues, and business partners as you navigate through an immense system of protected coves and channels surrounded by the vast windswept plains of the Baja Peninsula.

After an invigorating morning with the world’s foremost naturalists and explorers discussing the relationship between your current business challenges and the environment around you, head out into the field for personal growth and exploration. Allowing participants to observe migrating whales up close from the Zodiacs is a single moment that will change them for a lifetime. Special permits from the Mexican government and our shallow draft vessels enable us to take you into the gray whale lagoons of the Pacific coast of Baja, and to visit the protected islands of the Sea of Cortez.

Break into teams and discover dense mangroves by kayak, competing to locate magnificent frigate birds, pelicans, cormorants, terns, great blue herons, ibis and willets. At Los Islotes, don flippers, a mask and snorkel and swim with curious sea lions. An enriching multi-sport program which motivates and inspires performance. After some individual time to reflect while swimming, kayaking or hiking at Espiritu Santo, it’s time for some camaraderie, sharing memories together at a relaxing beach barbecue complete with a campfire and a star-filled sky.
