Both regions offer explorations of geography, flora and fauna, bird and wildlife. Both regions are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Westward Voyages in the Sea of Cortez spends seven days cruising in the Sea of Cortez with three days watching gray whales based from Kuyimita Tent Camp (http://www.kuyima.com/ Westward will ply the pristine waters of Baja in the coolest months in order to enhance the cruise experience that includes the cacophony of leaping rays, spouting whales, acrobatic dolphins and chirping bird song from the dawning shore. Guests and crew gather on the 17 by 14-foot shaded back deck for meals and conversation. Each stateroom has three portholes that open. In addition each bathroom has one opening port. Staterooms are outfitted with a portable, battery-powered fan to provide a breeze on still nights. The air may be warm and dry in the Gulf of California winters, but the water is cool and helps offset the warmth of the day, especially in staterooms that extend below the waterline. Other cruise programs on ships for up to 84 guests are available. Please see http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/ Additional options include two eight-day whale watching cruises January-March on a variety of small ships. Rates are from $2,995 per person, double, aboard the 84-guest Safari Endeavor (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/ Westward History Westward is listed with the US National Register of Historic Places and remains dependably powered by her original Atlas Imperial Diesel Engine.
