We’ll soon be leaving on another Uncruise cruise - this one to the Sea of Cortez in Mexico between Baja California and the rest of mainland Mexico. This will be our third “Uncruise”. They’re a small ship cruise line (typically no more than 60-70 guests) mainly focusing on adventure cruises. Our first cruise with them was to Alaska (which was fantastic!) and then last year, we went with some of Doug’s family on a wine cruise on the Columbia and Snake rivers in Oregon and Washington state (which was also great, but definitely not an adventure cruise). Uncruise provides a notional itinerary but stays flexible and changes plans to find wildlife.
The Sea of Cortez is home to fin, sperm and blue whales (the largest baleen whales in the world), dolphins pods that often number in the hundreds, sea lions (we hope to swim with pups). We’re also hoping that the gray whales are still in Magdalena Bay on the Pacific coast and we get a chance to see them with their babies. Beyond that, we expect lots of snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding (with associated falls), hiking, and maybe a burro ride in the mountains. We likely will have no internet or cell service so will provide updates when we get back.
