The kayaking was great, the sea flat calm, the water varying shades of green and blue. We saw many varieties of fish and birds, paddled past a heron and gull rookery. Watch an osprey fish and floated above the beautiful coral. But I think my favorite part of this, our second day trip with TOSEA was having Maurcio as our guide. Mauricio is very knowledgeable about the flora, fauna and sea life in the area as you would hope for a guide bur he also shared his understanding of the culture and history of the region and country. He was happy to address all our questions on a wide range of topics. A great guide and interesting person.

You must go to Tijuana, you can walk around and spend the day there and have lots of fun, I have done it on my own without booking a company to take me, and I had a blast. Make sure to plan ahead, exchange some money because paying in the local currency is cheaper, download offline maps, you will most probably not have coverage therefore you will not have internet, I would recommend that you explore all the way to the arch, from the arch you can take any turn and each turn you take will reveal a new aspect of the city.

The rich history of the paintings ( murals ) and explaining the meaning of the paintings and the artists was captivating. I was not bored at all. Tadeau ( tour guide) is like a history book except that I don’t have to do the reading. His knowledge about Tijuana, the places visited , the artists, and what the paintings explains is easy to follow and understand. It was a Mother’s Day well spent since I was alone in San Diego and my children couldn’t come, this day trip was their pick.

We booked this hike for our last day in Cabo. Little did we know we would save the very best until last. What a way to remember the Baja Peninsula! From the moment we met Danny, we knew this was going to be a really fun excursion. Turns out both my husband and Danny are rock climbers and that jump started our conversation. From there, Danny shared information on Cabo, the highway we traveled to Todos Santos and the history of Todos Santos itself. After a tour of the town that included more interesting facts and history, we went to an open air restaurant he recommended and were treated to some of the best food we have had anywhere. From there we headed to the "trailhead" for the sunset hike which started from the locals fishing beach. It was refreshing to hike an area we had entirely to ourselves, learn about some of the native plants, scramble up rocks and take in the incredible vistas at the top. We made it to our destination in time to watch and listen to a colony of sea lions swimming and barking below us. Pretty sure Danny arranged that too. He was that good. (: If you can only choose one thing to do while in Cabo, make sure it's this hike!
