After a gorgeous sunrise in Magdalena Bay, our guests disembarked National Geographic Venture to explore Isla Magdalena, one of the barrier islands that protects the bay. We set out with our natural history staff on various walks, identifying endemic desert plants along the way. At the top of the hill, we were rewarded with a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean. Back on board, guests enjoyed a wonderful lunch. In the afternoon, guests went ashore to enjoy beach time, snorkeling, and kayaking. We capped it off with a fun cocktail hour hosted by a local band, Los Coyotes. After another fabulous dinner, guests enjoyed an evening lecture by Carlos Navarro. What a fantastic and wonderful day!

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 .
