After cruising all night the National Geographic Sea Bird made it to the area known as La Fortuna, just off the East Cape of Baja California Sur. The waters of La Fortuna and Gorda Banks are known for high concentrations of humpback whales during the winter months. We spent the morning observing numerous whales and multiple cow and calf pairs. After lunch some of the guests explored the streets of San Jose del Cabo, while others explored the estuary in search of the many varieties of birds that inhabit the area. During the evening we had cocktails on the bow as we sailed around Finisterra and Land’s End, a beautiful rock formation just outside of the popular tourist destination of Cabo San Lucas

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 .
