Just after sunrise, our guests journeyed to the awaiting Zodiacs to take them to their snorkel destination – Isla San Francisco. Dropping into the water with eyes wide open, our snorkelers experienced the vast landscape of the underwater world that the Baja California peninsula provides. A myriad of grunts, scissortail damsel fish and barnacle blennies were about in the water with even the occasional eel being scene. After drying off for a midday brunch, we enjoyed some whales in transit before heading to La Paz for some dining and shopping along the Malecon. Local performers lit up the stage with synchronized dancing finishing with the powerful vocals of a Mexican opera singer.

Canal de Cerralvo / La Paz
We awoke navigating on the Cerralvo Canal, between Cerralvo Island and the peninsula, searching for wildlife. We were not disappointed, as two different pods of common dolphins came to visit and bow ride with us for a long time. After lunch, we anchored at Pichilingue Port and disembarked the vessel to visit the capital city of Baja California Sur, La Paz, where we had the chance to interact with the locals in some of the most popular places, like La Fuente, a traditional ice cream parlor, and the Jardin Velasco in downtown. Then guests enjoyed a fiesta, dinner, and returned on board National Geographic Venture .

Magdalena Bay
Today we woke with the shining stars and took Zodiacs ashore to meet our coaches for a trip to Chale, a small town on the shores of Magdalena Bay. The goal was to find some wintering gray whales, magnificent leviathans which frequent this coast to give birth before the long migration back to their Arctic feeding grounds. These whales did not disappoint! Spyhopping, breaching, and even a bit of tail flukes. As a result, there were lots of smiles and laughter all around! We returned to the town for lunch and then headed back out on the local boats for a second round. As we returned to the ship, the sun set over La Paz, with glassy waters of gold in the harbor, and pink clouds above. The constellations of Orion, Taurus, and the Pleiades shone over our Zodiacs on our way back to dinner aboard National Geographic Venture .
