Indigo Adventures
Set sail from Todos Santos aboard La Ruca with Indigo Adventures for unforgettable whale and wildlife encounters along Baja California Sur’s dramatic coastline.
Indigo Adventures is a Todos Santos, Baja California Sur-based outfitter offering guided whale-watching, sportfishing, and spearfishing trips along the southern Baja peninsula. The company operates a fleet of local pangas, a 35' Cabo sportfisher (El Wahoo King), a 33' catamaran (Don Pancho), and other vessels including 22', 26', and 27' pangas. Trips depart from nearby launch points such as Puerto Los Cabos Marina and Punta Lobos.
Whale-watching options include excursions aboard the newly rebuilt 27' panga La Ruca and the Lucky Seven, with experienced crews who search for humpback whales, dolphins, and local seabirds. Sportfishing charters run on the 35' Cabo sportfisher and on the 33' catamaran, targeting species like marlin, wahoo, and tuna with full galley comforts on the larger boat.
Spearfishing and multi-day expeditions are offered as all-inclusive packages. Options include weekend trips, a five-day trip, and a seven-day expedition that combine diving, fishing, remote camping, surfing, and guided local exploration. All-inclusive trips specify meals, lodging or camping, photos and video capture, and gear as part of the offering.
Indigo Adventures emphasizes local knowledge through captains and crews familiar with Baja waters. Trips provide complimentary snacks and drinks on many excursions and include necessary fishing or diving gear when noted. The operator focuses on small-group experiences that showcase marine wildlife, offshore fishing grounds, and remote coastal landscapes of Baja California Sur.
Bookings are available from Todos Santos and nearby Cabo San Lucas for single-day and extended itineraries tailored to skill level and interests. Photos and videos often included.
