Isla Coronado

Island full of beautiful beaches, popular with tourists.

Reviewed By firsttimertoPV

Had a great time visiting Isla Coronado. A magical place where wildlife abounds and the water is crystal clear. My husband and I went with Francisco Mayoral who took us to see dolphins, dorado, frigate birds, the infamous boobies, sea lions, and a spectacular array of flora. I highly recommend this captain and this trip. It really made our stay in Loreto a special vacation.

Loreto Bay National Marine Park

Reviewed By Dahlyana

My husband and I recently visited Loreto, Mexico and it was a wonderful visit. We did some sight seeing on our own but also used the tour company of Wild Loreto for an all day tour to the Pacific to see the gray whales and their calves. It was awesome and our tour guide, Chalio, was wonderful. He knew when the whales were getting ready to come up and we had our cameras ready. We liked our tour to the see the whales with Chalio so much that we decided to take another tour to Coronado Island that is in the National Marine National Park in Loreto Bay in order to see more marine life! Marine life we saw in all its glory; we saw sea lions, all sorts of birds including the blue footed booby, dolphins, and had a beautiful hike on a clean and well marked trail that revealed millions of years of geologic activity. All stunning and Chalio was a wonderful guide. I hope Loreto Bay stays protected as the ecological wonder that it is.

An interesting reversal of above-ground expectations: 'rivers' of sand flow along rocks on the ocean floor at this diving site.

Cabo Pulmo Marine Preserve

A sanctuary to the only living coral reef on the western side of the continent.

Reviewed By N-WALES-TRAVELLER - Rhuddlan, United Kingdom

We travelled in a mini rental vehicle on the dirt roads that lead south from La Ribera towards San Jose Del Cabo via Cabo Pulmo and a host of other small settlements. It’s an arduous journey in a standard small vehicle ???? but after seeing the beaches the bird life and most of all the numerous breaching humpback whales ???? from the coastline it was a road trip of a life time. You really need a 4x4 but our little car managed it with a gold star. ( probably more to do with the driver ????) I’d recommend it to all as it was simply an amazing drive. ****Word if warning***** Don’t attempt this in a normal vehicle if it’s been raining or in the dark. You won’t make it. Give yourself a good 6 hours to complete the journey
