This unique tour takes place on a classic 24 foot Mexican panga "Pipiripau", and you will be accompanied by a marine biologist that will assist in explaining the natural history of the area. The tour starts in Esterito, a beautiful mangrove estuary in the northern most extent of the Bahia San Carlos. We will head towards Bahia San Francisco in order to observe a local pod of bottlenose dolphins that are frequently seen playing and feeding along the shore. Along the way we will pass pristine islands that serve as nesting sites for various bird species, such as blue footed boobies and brown pelicans. Before we return we will anchor in the beautiful and secluded cove of Shangri-La to enjoy freshly made ceviche as we discuss the days activities and observations. Weather permitting, swimming and snorkeling are encouraged!

We will boat through the turquoise waters of Bahia San Carlos, the namesake of the town. The boat tour will start in the mangrove estuary known as Esterito, located in the northern end of the Bahia San Carlos. The estuary contains extensive growths of mangroves including the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle. A wide diversity of marine birds can be observed in the estuary feeding amongst the mangroves. As we motor across the bay your guide will point out local coastal attractions, such as the secluded beaches of Caracol, El tomate, and El Acuario.

As we approach the island of Roca San Nicolimaás we will observe the wide diversity of birds that frequent the island. Binoculars provided! One bird of interest is the blue footed booby, Sula nebouxii, which nests here. Roca San Nicolimaás is a rocky island, as is typical of most islands in the Sea of Cortez. The island is completely covered with white guano. The extensive cover of guano is a testament to the large populations of marine birds, and the abundance of fish that feed them.

What a great trip! Michael was a fantastic captain - he shared his extensive knowledge about marine life, geology and life in San Carlos. We were a group of seven, including several tweens. Michael made sure that everyone had the right gear to be safe and comfortable while snorkeling. We enjoyed our time on the “Pipiripau” and the beverages and lunch that Michael provided as well. We also appreciate that Michael chose not to book boat rides for the next few days since the forecast is for rougher seas. He truly cares about your experience of this beautiful place.
Highly recommended

We had an amazing time out on the sea of Cortez with Micheal. We enjoyed the scenic view, bird watching, and looking for dolphins. We ended the trip in a quiet bay with ceviche and drinks compliments of Michael. This is our third guided experience with him and he never disappoints! Would highly recommend and can't wait again for next time!

Once in a lifetime views of Sea of Cortez. Some of the most beautiful views on planet Earth. Mike was kind, friendly and explained various aspects of nature, history, and more. We measure life by experiences that take our breaths away…this is the golden ticket. Beauty beyond description.
