    Discovering Espiritu Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

    Ah, the Sea of Cortez! It's the last day exploring the Baja Peninsula, and this will be a day to remember as you dive into the marine sanctuary surrounding Espiritu Island.
    The rewards today are bountiful, with exquisite islands, coral reefs bursting with colourful fish, and up-close encounters with marine life of all kinds.
    You'll snorkel, swim, kayak and, later, enjoy a well-deserved rest as you relax on a gorgeous beach.

    Today is going to be one you'll never forget as you head out on the open waters to explore Espiritu Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the island territory is large with many different opportunities, the best way to enjoy it all is with an established agency.
    Hotel Catedral La Paz works with the best tour operators to ensure you have the most amazing day as you snorkel with sea lions amongst coral reefs, and experience the thrill of an up-close-and-personal encounter with dolphins, sea turtles, whales, Mobula rays, and many seabirds.
    Depending on the time of the year, it’s possible you'll be able to see migrating whale sharks or blue, humpback, pilot, or black pilot whales as well!
    While the tour agency can pick you up at the hotel, since you have your own car, I suggest you drive to the meet-up point, giving you the freedom to explore the coast afterwards.
    The hotel concierge will give you the exact meeting location at the time of booking.
