Loreto at Sea
Plan for a day of snorkeling and scuba diving in the calm waters of the Gulf of California. The tranquil sea makes it a great spot for kids to swim. Venturing into the waters allows travelers to explore local wildlife and marine life, including dolphins, whales and sea lions on guided tours. Or, if you prefer to see the wildlife from above, hop on a kayak in the Bay of Loreto National Marine Park with tour operators like Vive Loreto Tours. ABT Sailing offers more upscale excursions around the bay in a luxurious catamaran.
