Discover the Best Sea Of Cortez Tours

Also known as the Gulf of California, the Sea of Cortez rests between the Baja California Peninsula and mainland Mexico. One of the most diverse bodies of water in the world, it is home to over 5,000 different species of invertebrates as well as a wide range of endemic species including the endangered Vaquita. The Sea is also a major migratory route for humback whales, Californiagray whales, blue whales, killer whales, manta rays, Humboldt squid, leatherback sea turtle, and, on rare occasions, sperm whales and fin whales. Many of the coastal towns and cities rely heavily on fishing in the area, largely upon the shrimp population.
