The Sierra Giganta Range plunges into the Sea of Cortez. Canyon hikes take us into the coastal mountains and kayaking allows an intimate exploration of the many coves and islands. Desert colors of Canyonlands-like cliffs drop into the clear azure sea to create a magical play of light and reflection. The Sea of Cortez is home to thousands of species of sea life, and the snorkeling here is excellent. Small coves teem with exotically colored fish. We often see Fin and Blue Whales, as well as large pods of dolphins.
