Our day begins as we enjoy the sunrise overlooking the Magical Sea of Cortez, from our vacation residence in La Ventana, Baja Mexico. After breakfast we meet our boat at 8 am every day. We will spend every day at sea, having lunch and snacks on the boat looking for the multitude of Cetaceans that frequent the area until the afternoon around 4pm.
