The most popular itinerary is to visit the Revillagigedos Archipelago in the Tropical Eastern Pacific – Socorro, as it’s more commonly known. The Socorro Islands are 400 kilometres south, at the tip of the Baja peninsula, and are renowned for their BIG animal encounters. The eight night itineraries include Socorro, San Benedicto and Roca Partida islands (weather permitting) and operate from Nov-Jun. Highlights on this amazing adventure include giant Pacific manta rays, inquisitive dolphins, seven different shark species and migrating humpback whales. Time it right, and you may be lucky enough to get a whale shark encounter too!
From late June to the end of October, the Solmar V can be found in the glimmering Sea of Cortez. These, usually weeklong, itineraries are led by local guides with expert knowledge of the area. Activities include snorkelling with sea lions, scuba diving at Isla San Jose and kayaking in small local rivers, visiting ancient caves where pre-historical paintings can be seen and then enjoying ATV rides in the desert. Combining sea, sun, mountains, wildlife, and culture all in a single trip, it truly provides a slice of the wild Baja life.
