Watch the sun slip behind La Giganta from a 35‑ft catamaran with an open bar and appetizers. This two‑hour cruise out of Loreto pairs easygoing seas, marine wildlife sightings, and protected‑area support via a small park fee.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Loreto's marina as the sun lowers behind the La Giganta range, and the harbor exhales a last warm breath onto the water. Onboard a 35‑ft sailing catamaran, guests spread out on benches and deck seats while the skipper angles the boat for the best light; music threads through conversations and the spray keeps time against the hull.

Loreto was Spain’s first colonial mission capital in Baja California (late 17th century), and maritime routes have shaped the town’s economy and cuisine ever since.
Conservation
Loreto Bay National Park, created in the 1990s, protects the islands and marine habitats; small park fees help fund monitoring and local stewardship.

Pack reef‑safe sunscreen
The low angle of sunset doesn’t eliminate UV exposure — use reef‑safe SPF and reapply if you’ll be on deck before boarding.
Bring binoculars or a telephoto lens
Wildlife and island details appear small from the boat; a 200mm+ lens or compact binoculars improves sightings.
Have cash for the park bracelet
The mandatory $2 USD park bracelet supports Loreto Bay National Park and is usually collected prior to boarding.
Consider motion‑sickness prevention
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding; evening swells can make the ride choppy.
