Sea kayaking allows visitors to experience the Sea of Cortez up close. Several tour companies operate sea kayak excursions that last anywhere from three to 12 days, according to Sea Kayak Adventures. Overnight tours include accommodations in a combination of hotels and campgrounds, meals and other sight-seeing activities.
Whales populate all areas of the Sea of Cortez, making whale-watching a popular activity. Companies like Baja Eco Tours offer private whale-watching tours where guests can view Blue, Humpback, Fin, Orca and Sperm whales onboard private yachts or sailboats, as stated on the Baja Eco Tours website.
For a unique view of the Sea of Cortez, scuba diving tours take visitors far below the surface to enjoy the sea creatures that call the Sea of Cortez home. According to Grupo Fun Baja, scuba tours include day trips and longer excursions that can also include kayaking and whale watching.
