Tour Description
Welcome to Mexico! On the southern tip of the exciting Baja Peninsula are two small and very different towns: San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Picturesque and historic San Jose del Cabo still looks like the 18th century mission town it once was. Cabo San Lucas, where the Pacific Ocean meets the warm waters of the Sea of Cortes, is home to world-class Marlin fishing and offers great entertainment.
In between the two towns is a gorgeous seacoast corridor, home to elegant hotels, championship golf courses, golden beaches and dramatic red rock formations.
Every year from December to March, several thousand California Grey Whales migrate here to mate and give birth to their young in the warm lagoons and protected waters of this region.
Itinerary
Day 1: Los Cabos, Mexico
On the southern tip of the exciting Baja Peninsula are two small and very different towns: San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Picturesque and historic San Jose del Cabo still looks like the 18th century mission town it once was. Cabo San Lucas, where the Pacific Ocean meets the warm waters of the Sea of Cortes, is home to world-class Marlin fishing and offers great entertainment.
In between the two towns is a gorgeous seacoast corridor, home to elegant hotels, championship golf courses, golden beaches and dramatic red rock formations.
Every year from December to March, several thousand California Grey Whales migrate here to mate and give birth to their young in the warm lagoons and protected waters of this region.
Today when you arrive at the San Jose del Cabo Airport, you will be met by a local English-speaking iExplore Representative for a private transfer to your hotel. The remainder of the day is free for you to explore on your own or to make use of the many amenities offered by the hotel.
You will be confirmed for three nights at the Hotel Dreams Los Cabos Resort & Spa in a Junior Suite with an Ocean-View, on an all-inclusive basis. The hotel is located beachside, about a ten-minute drive from the town of Cabo San Lucas, and features 308 spacious rooms with large balconies, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, safe and minibar, a large freeform swimming pool, tennis, health club, spa, kids club, daily activity program, several restaurants, bars and land sports activities and is adjacent to two championship golf courses. The all-inclusive plan includes all meals, snacks and national drinks.

Day 2: Todos Santos
After breakfast at the hotel this morning, depart for a shared whale watching tour (December to March only) and an excursion to Todos Santos.
For centuries, gray whales have traveled from Alaska's icy Bering Sea to mate and spawn in the warm, shallow waters off the coast of Baja California. It takes these gentle giants two or three months to complete the 5,900-mile journey, the longest migration of any mammal. They arrive between December and January and stay until March, or sometimes as late as June. In 1972 the area became the world's first whale sanctuary, the Parque Natural de Ballena Gris. Enjoy your morning of whale watching!
After, we will drive to Todos Santos, located 70km north of Los Cabos on the Pacific Coast.
In the late 19th century the town became a prosperous sugar producer, but depleted aquifers have eliminated the industry. In the last 10 years, the temperate climate of Todos Santos has attracted organic farmers, and the town's wonderfully laid-back style has attracted many artists. We will explore Todos Santos on foot, and then enjoy a delicious Mexican lunch. You will be dropped off back at your hotel following the tour. Approximate duration is 4 hours.

Day 3: Santa Maria
Today, enjoy a half-day, shared snorkeling tour to Santa Maria, including pick up and drop off at your hotel. The tour duration is about 4 hours.
Santa Maria Bay- located on the Los Cabos Corridor- is a protected marine sanctuary and its aquamarine and tranquil waters are ideal for snorkeling. A 30-minute boat ride will take us to the snorkeling site, and we will have an hour and a half to enjoy the hundreds of tropical fish, sea turtles and marina rays.

Day 4: La Paz
Today you will be transferred from your hotel in Los Cabos to La Paz in shared service. When you arrive, the rest of the day is at your leisure to get acquainted with your new surroundings.
There are few finer places to watch a Baja sunset than on La Paz' splendid palm-lined sea front. The capital of Baja California Sur is a peaceful place with beautiful beaches, colonial building, and any number of outdoor activities to choose from.
You will be confirmed for two nights at the Hotel La Concha Beach Resort, in a Standard Room, including daily breakfast. Located on the beach along La Paz Bay, approximately 10 minutes drive to downtown, the resort features 92 comfortable ocean-view rooms with air-conditioning, minibar and balcony, pool, spa, water sports and restaurant and bar.
