Wild Loreto Tours

Our trip with Santos to experience the Jesuit Mission at San Javier was fabulous. As an English speaking local born Loreto resident, Santos shared his sense of humour as well as extensive knowledge of the history, flora and fauna, and even medicinal plants that are part of this important historical site. This is an excellent excursion to take in the comfort of a well-maintained air conditioned van. The site is preserved as it was built in the mid 1700's with a functioning water supply, orchards, and the amazing church structure in all its magnificence. This gem is well worth the half day to be immersed in the history of of the Baja Sur California.

We booked a tour for to see the Grey whales out of Magdalena Bay through Wild Loreto. Francisco was our guide and picked us up promptly at our hotel. He was a very gracious and friendly gentleman that grew up on the Baja. The van was brand new and Francisco was a great driver. Important considering it was a 2.5hr drive one way. We stopped mid way for a bathroom break at a small convenience store. Whale trip was fantastic. Everything we could hope for and more. Started in Mag Bay with a dense fog bank. Was quite the adventure heading out to the pass into the Pacific. No wind to speak of and the fog cleared shortly after getting through the pass. We immediately saw whales and stayed in them the entire 2 hours we were out there. The panga captain -- from a 2nd party company - - knew what he was doing and was very respectful of the whales while doing all he could to make our experience the best he could. Worth every penny and moment we spent. 10/10.

Wow what a experience from beginning to end with Leno. San Javier Mission is the place to go if want to experience history, good food, kindest host and staff in all of Mexico. Our driver was bi-lingual, a great host, knowledgeable, actually grew up there and has an incredible knowledge of history and area. Got to meet Leno' whole family and they welcomed us in to their home and look around to understand how they live. So kind and loving people. They even gave us an avocado from their tree, with a smooth skin, black, soft and all edible. Thank you for a wonderful journey Leni, the best guide we have ever had on a tour. I learned so much and had a great time.

Took 2 tours w/Wild Loreto. Mission tour w/Santos was very good, he is extremely knowledgeable, & a safe driver. We toured the mission as well as the vegetation behind it. Santos also stopped twice on the ride to the mission to show us some wonderful scenery. The lunch at the Mission was terrible. All our food came out cold. Recommend that Wild Loreto try a different restaurant by the mission for lunch. The sunset boat tour was very nice. The catamaran is very small & seating is not the most comfortable but you get fantastic views of the mountains & shoreline. Food was very minimal but fine – chips, salsa, guac, cheese,fruit, & burritos. Drinks were beer, tequila, & rum. No wine – I was very disappointed with the no wine.

We took two different excursions with Wild Loreto: 1st - Blue Whale Watching at Loreto - A lovely trip in Bahía de Loreto National Park venturing to the area between Danzante and Montserrrat Islands. Capitano Christopher piloted us to an area where we saw backs and tails of a few Blue whales, a Humpback mother and calf and perhaps a Fin whale. Surrounding landscape is breathtaking. 2nd - Coronado Island Adventure - Lovely outing with Capitano Umberto and Guide Christopher. We did a complete circuit of Isla Coronado, seeing two playful pods of Bottle-nosed dolphins and the Ca. Sea lion colony. Saw some stingrays, sea turtles, and schools of fish through the almost crystal-clear water. Also saw many birds: pelicans, turkey vultures perched on cacti, osprey on nest. Rock forms on the island were fascinating. We stopped at a white sand beach for lunch and a little time on the island.

Safe and great tour to Coronado Island. Sea lions and amazing snorkeling!

My group of 10 did the half day private catamaran tour on our recent trip to Loreto and it was amazing!! We all had the best time! Great service from the pick up, beautiful scenery, fun music, drink and delicious lunch. They even had a cake for us since they knew we were celebrating our 50th birthdays! I highly recommend this tour group! 4 of us also did the Isla Coronado tour and I would not miss that if you are going to Loreto! Definitely a big highlight of our trip!! Thank you so much Wild Loreto!

Great experience with a great guide. San Javier is an oasis within the mountains. It is amazing to see such greenery in the middle of the desert. The gardens and fields are worth seeing. Lunch was included in the 9am departure
