What to expect
A full day on the UNESCO island: snorkelling with a sea-lion colony at Los Islotes, where the pups come to inspect your fins, then beach stops under 20-million-year-old red rock with lunch cooked on the sand.
Los Islotes sea lions + red cliffs + beach lunch Departures run from Baja California & Los Cabos, and the whole experience takes about 9 hours — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Baja California & Los Cabos itinerary.
