Fun Cooking Class and Hike
I did both the hike with Axel and the cooking class with Iker Algorri, and both were excellent! Both gentlemen were super friendly and knowledgable about their domains and made the experiences very pleasurable. On the hike, Axel leveraged his background in marine biology to provide a narrative focused on sustainability and paced the walk exactly for us, providing just the right level of intensity. Plus, the food on the beach was really yummy. During the cooking class, Iker shared his passion for cooking and showed us how to make non-greasy chips, delicious guacamole, fish stew, and unique margaritas. You could be involved as much or as little as you liked and still have a ton of fun. Iker paired the cooking tips with curated music, which delighted our group even more. And the setting was incredible too. Would recommend 100%!

Amazing Family Adventure in Baja!
We just returned from Baja and had an absolutely fantastic experience with Todos Santos! My family of four and our daughter’s friend was guided by Cesar, who was friendly, chill, fun, informative, well prepared and tuned in to our family’s needs - we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!We spent two days at Camp Cecil de la Sierra for a unique desert mountain experience. We loved the white rock swimming hole and ranch experience where we made tortillas, made leather bracelets and checked out the farm activities. At night we saw two elf owls, a ring tailed cat and scorpions.We spent three days at Camp Cecil de la Isla on Isla Espiritu Santo, which was the highlight of our trip. We boated all around the island and saw humpback whales, dolphins, and schools of feeding tuna. We snorkeled with a huge school of mobula rays, and spent time just cruising around the beautiful islands searching for animals and enjoying the natural beauty. We swam, snorkeled and kayaked around the beautiful bay right in front of the camp. The highlight for me was snorkeling with the sea lions and then scuba diving with them, where I had a sea lion playfully ‘bite’ my hand - no pain, just fun, like a giant friendly dog! Our camp mates were from Spain, Venezuela and Mexico so we had fun with the other guests in the evening. The food was absolutely amazing. We were shocked that such incredible gourmet food and drinks could be prepared right on the beach in the kitchen tent.We spent two days in Todos Santos exploring the town, checking out art and buying souvenirs. We did a taco crawl for some amazing tacos and took a gourmet Mexican cooking class at the Hotel California. All fun and delicious! The hotel pool was also a highlight, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.We spent the last two days in San Jose del Cabo exploring the art galleries and souvenir shops, eating Mexican food. We did a shark safari out into the ocean where we snorkeled with blue sharks and mako sharks – up close and personal! My son and I dirt biked in the desert mountains right down to the Sea of Cortez for an epic off-road experience.All in, this was a very well organized, fun, unique and adventurous trip that got us up close and personal with amazing wildlife and out doors in gorgeous and wild natural settings, while teaching us a lot about Mexican culture, people and food, all while having a ton of fun. I can’t recommend Todos Santos enough for an authentic, memorable and exciting Mexican experience!!!

Beautiful, Magical Experience!
We just returned from our trip to Camp Cecil de la Isla. It was an amazing trip and adventure. We are not campers, but the staff and the accommodations made it comfortable and easy for us to enjoy. The island and cove are beautiful and magical with a crazy mix of red rock cactus desert terrain and crystal clear blue water. We saw tons of wildlife -including whales and blue footed boobies, kayaked, explored, snorkeled, and played with sea lions. The camp staff was all amazing. The food was great, one of us is vegan and the chef had no problem accommodating that. Our guides, Manuel and Andreas, were super knowledgeable, helpful, great with the kids, and also just very cool people that we were happy to hang out with. We had so much fun, highly recommend. Even our teenager didn't want to leave, despite the island having no wifi or cell service!

What a FANTASTIC trip!
As someone who has spent my career as an international group travel planner, I was extremely impressed by how every single detail of our trip was perfectly planned and perfectly executed. It was a FANTASTIC trip!  We spent 2 nights at Los Calibras Casitas near Todos Santos, 2 nights glamping at Camp Cecil, a night in La Paz, 2 nights glamping on Isla Espiritu Santo and then back again to Los Calibras Casitas.  The camps were amazing -- we slept very well in large, comfortable tents with a real mattress, crisp linens, well-thought-out compostable toilet facilities. The view from our tent in each camp was serene and beautiful. Both camps were quiet and filled with stars and nature and peace and beauty.  We went on several nature hikes with our naturalist guides, enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, had a very fun tortilla making class and ate the most fantastic meals. The highlight for me was snorkeling with playful sea lion pups!  Our Guide, Paulina, was wonderful. She really went out of her way to make every part of our trip fun and happy, as did all of the guides and camp staff. Paulina knows so much about the flora and fauna in each location and its clear how much she loves these places and loves helping the guests to enjoy their trip.  It was a wonderful trip, full of adventure, fun and rejuvenation!

A perfect glamping trip
We traveled with Todos Santos Eco Adventures for a 2 day "glamping" experience in the beautiful Sierra Madre, and for 2 days in Islas Spiritus, both in the Baja, with one night in between in La Paz. It was a trip to always remember! Everything was just right. The camps had big, secure tents, comfy beds with clean sheets, good bathroom facilities and superb food. I hate camping, but this is markedly different. It is comfortable, easy and safe. Our guide, Paulina was fantastic. Smart, attentive, detail oriented and so kind. We adored her and all the guides we met. The activities the camps provided were great, snorkeling with sea lions, hiking, kayaking and tortilla making. So fun! The food was absolutely gourmet! Just do it! You will have a blast!

Wonderful three-day experience on Isla Espiritu
Our family of 6, ranging in age from 7 years old to 87 years old, recently visited and camped at Isla Espiritu for three days, all arranged by Todos Santo Eco Adventures. We had a wonderful time -- snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, paddle boarding, swimming with sea lions and living on the beach in a beautiful cove on the Sea of Cortez! Our tents and beds were super comfy, each meal was wonderful, and the entire staff was generous, helpful, warm and friendly. We especially thank our personal guide, Daniel, who was exemplary in every way. We highly recommend this experience.

Uniquely Immersive Natural Trip of Wonders
A really special, totally unique, naturally immersive, transformative experience. From the second you land, you are on this incredible desert island, surrounded by an ocean teeming with aquatic life, and you get to experience once-in-a-lifetime nature sitings at every turn; we literally swam with sea lions, kayaked among manta rays, paddle boarded above coral reefs, and then saw turtles, dolphins and whales on our boat ride. Add to that a funny, knowledgable naturalist guide, amazing breakfast lunch and dinner served to you, and you have an unforgettable vacation. I am coming back and coming back for longer. Can't recommend enough. Also, amazing sunsets. Also amazing stars. Truly immersive.

Sea of Cortez Respite and Recharge
We are two older folks who haven't camped in years, but the lure of the Sea of Cortez drew us to Camp Cecil and TOSEA. Words alone can't describe how special those three days were for us, from the comfortable beds in the roomy tent to the sumptuous meals prepared by the camp's chef, to the peace of being in the midst of nature away from the outside world. Our wonderful guide, Sergio, planned adventures for every morning and afternoon. We kayaked, snorkeled, swam with sea lions, and hiked. His knowledge of the plants and animals, the geology, and the ways of the sea and sky added immeasurably to the pleasure of being in that special place. What most struck us about Sergio -- and the culture of TOSEA -- was the dedication to including each guest and accommodating their needs. During our three days, we had two sets of English-speaking guests and one woman who spoke French and Spanish, but little English. Sergio switched back and forth from English to Spanish, ensuring that no one was ever left out of a conversation. He also assessed what, as active people in our 70s, we were comfortable doing and made plans accordingly.

T OSEA … the best experiences ever!
Our group of nine women had the most remarkable adventures with TOSEA! The attention to detail while clamping on the Espiritu Santo Isla was incredible, the meals, superb and plentiful, the accommodations wonderful, and the guides fantastic. All the staff on the island and on our subsequent visit to Port Charle for while watching, we’re the best, friendly, so knowledgeable, and so willing. I could not have asked for better experiences for our group and will be back with them for sure!

Fantastic!
Camping on Isla Espiritu Santo is just spectacular. The tents are small but very comfortable and the view is gorgeous. The food was delicious and the guides make all the experiences truly wonderful. For the most part, we had Sergio - what an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable man. He took us snorkeling, kayaking, hiking - all amazing. He knows a great deal about the natural world - the history of the oyster pearls, the different kinds of cactus. He knows the scientific names of all the fish you see snorkeling! Sergio went out of his way to show us all kinds of birds - the hundreds and hundreds of pelicans diving, frigates, blue-footed boobies. We kayaked among dozens of sea turtles bobbing up to say hello. The sea lion excursion is not to be missed. You really do swim with them and they are incredibly playful. The snorkeling at the sea lion rookery is also exceptional. We were really quite sad to leave Camp Cecil - on the way back, though, two humpback whales lifted their flukes, almost as if to say goodbye, come back soon. When we got to Todos Santos, we took a walking historical tour with Isabel, arranged by TOSEA. What a treat - She showed us many buildings and explained their importance. Isabel is terrific and we had a great time with her. You cannot go wrong with this trip.
