Overview of Baja Family Multisport: Bike, Hike, Sea Kayak and Snorkel Along the Sea of Cortez

Bring your family to play in the sun in Baja, a slender finger of desert land cradled by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the brilliant-blue Sea of Cortez to the east. It's a picturesque balance of blue skies, warm sand and cactus-covered hills. On land and at sea, wonders for both adults and kids abound in southern Baja. Hike spectacular cliffs overlooking the Pacific and bike from arid coastal hills to the sparkling waters of the Eastern Cape, where frigate birds soar overhead. Explore the fascinating remains of a once-booming silver-mining town - also a thriving cultural center at its height - and meet locals who are happy to share their history and traditions. Each evening a sunset almost too dramatic to believe closes the chapter on another perfect day in Baja.

  • Sunny days and perfect temps for active pursuits in laid-back Baja
  • Charming Todos Santos, with Colonial architecture and an artsy ambience
  • Beautiful rides through arid coastal hills and by the azure Sea of Cortez
  • Discover fragile nesting sites of endangered turtles - you may even see hatchlings!
  • Hike through wild canyons to a beautiful waterfall
