Discover the Wildlife-rich Waters of Mexico's Sea of Cortés
Each of our Sea of Cortés breathtaking destinations has an exceptional wonder all its own. Isolated coves, pristine waters. Playful sea lions, dolphins and whales. Remote islands, exclusive wildlife and historic missions. Desert beauty and remarkable sunsets. Let Cruise West's beautiful small ship take you away to the world you've dreamed of...the Whales & Wildlife cruise on the Sea of Cortés.
Twenty million years ago, the San Andreas Fault fractured, sending an 800-mile-long mountain range into the ocean and forming the Sea of Cortés. Today, this young sea, fed by strong tides and nutrientrich currents, harbors the most abundant concentration of marine life on earth.
Pods of dolphins, hundreds strong, leap from foamy bow waves. Gray whales rise to gaze a soulful eye at awe-struck visitors. Playful sea lions blow bubbles in the face of snorkelers, inviting them to join their underwater ballet.
Join Cruise West as they explore a land and sea brimming with life. A place where aquamarine waters are impossibly clear and where the sun shines nearly everyday … where soft-sand beaches and exotic cacti rim a coastline that bears no trace of civilization for as far as the eye can see … where frigate birds, pelicans and ospreys circle overhead … and where idyllic towns still echo with the mission bells of a bygone era.
Complete your Sea of Cortés experience with a visit to Mexico’s Copper Canyon — as rich in Tarahumara Indian culture as it is in unforgettable vistas. Journey with Cruise West by rail and motorcoach through a maze of rock bluffs, gorges, tunnels, trestles and canyons, visiting rustic villages, museums, a Jesuit Mission and a local school — and leave the logistics to them!
