Explore rocky shorelines, white sandy beaches, fossil beds, volcanic outcrops, coral reefs and cactus forests, just to name a few of the environments. We will travel the sea from island to island, discovering turquoise water coves, passing desert shorelines and, if you wish, exploring the underwater realm via snorkel and fins. The 90-foot ‘Fiesta’ is a Mexican family-owned and operated yacht that has been a floating base for non-profit, educational adventures for many years.
