4. Discover a treasure trove of fish and other marine life
Head out on the high seas and soak up an endless array of aquatic activities.
Fishing
Enjoy the world-class fishing the Sea of Cortez has to offer. Recruit a local fishing guide to take you to all the best spots for snapping up a fresh catch.

Charter a boat or take your personal watercraft out for a snorkeling or scuba diving adventure guaranteed to give a glimpse of colorful coral reefs and fascinating fish.
A certified instructor can get you as close as possible to this magnificent menagerie of marine life.
El Arco
A trip to the East Cape wouldn’t be complete without visiting El Arco, or “The Arch,” a jaw-dropping limestone formation formed over many years by time, tide, and wind.
Cruise over to El Arco for a one-of-a-kind photo opp, and spot sea lions basking in the sun on the nearby beaches.

Another way to take your holiday off the beaten path is to do so on camelback.
See the sights from new heights as you ride along the Pacific Ocean and through the desert.
