Discover a site where the impressive volcanic rocks of the eastern Baja Peninsula plummet into the Sea of Cortez. Balandra is a shoal bay where you can clearly see the bottom in more than 20 feet of water.
Travel by boat for approximately 30 minutes to reach Gaviota Island. Many seabird species nest here.
Continue to Balandra Bay to snorkel among an abundance of colorful sea life. This bay features eight attractive inlets and beautiful beaches, one of which features the famous Mushroom Rock geological formation.
Swim to the nearby sandy beach to bask in the sun and take in the views of surrounding islands and mountains.
Notes:
Minimum age to snorkel is 8 years. Maximum age is 74 years. Guests who are pregnant or have a heart, back or neck condition are not allowed to participate. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen (no other kind is allowed) and a hat. Swim at your own risk. To avoid sunburn, bring light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars.
