Snorkeling and sea life in Loreto Bay National Marine Park

Loreto Bay National Marine Park

Sea & Island Adventures

Loreto Bay sits inside a National Marine Park, and the islands are the soul of it.

The Experience

A World-Class Marine Wilderness

Snorkel at Coronados or Danzante Island — volcanic rock formations, desert coastline, and reefs teeming with life. Glide through the water by panga boat, watching for sea lions, common dolphins, and, in winter, the great blue whales, humpbacks, and fins.

Swim, snorkel, and unwind on white-sand beaches, with a freshly prepared Mexican lunch waiting onshore.

"Marvel at geological formations, spot wild marine life, and feel the silence of an island that feels like the edge of the world."
