Showcasing the very best of the places we explore, our signature Un-Cruise Adventures are built on flexibility. Whether you cruise the warm waters of Mexico’s Sea of Cortés or among the sun-drenched Hawaiian Islands, our sleek nimble boats carry 36, 76 or

86 like-minded travelers—punctuating each voyage with exclusive encounters and providing extraordinary access along the way.

Travelers today are looking for exceptional experiences, and at InnerSea Discoveries and American Safari Cruises, you can expect to find them. You could be hiking to an amazing vista one minute and paddling or snorkeling in a fish sanctuary the next. But if you would rather grab a cup of coffee and sit on the bridge trading stories with the Captain, you will enjoy those moments too. With any choice, yours will be a personal and close up adventure.

Our small group size ensures the quality of your experience, allowing the Captain to maximize wildlife viewing and other opportunities as they spontaneously arise, and ashore, local guides and residents offer the gift of friendship along with their knowledge in more intimate settings. And throughout, we’ve set aside time for play—kayaking, hiking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, exploring by skiff—and to simply bask in your surroundings. It’s all designed to make your time with us as engaging, active, and varied as you like, whatever your preference.

Why Un-Cruise? Unrushed. Uncrowded. Unbelievable.

Un-Cruise Adventures. Unmatched hands-on explorations and up-close encounters.

Make your moments with an Un-Cruise!

Page 4: Warm-Waters Brochure

Our one-of-a-kind, life-changing, memory-making Un-Cruise Adventures are far from ordinary, and we’ve designed them to carry you outside of ho-hum tourist ports. To be inspiring. And change the way you see the world—wildlife in their natural environment, unique cultural encounters, moments to meld with nature, and engagement in active adventure.

We’ve created two styles of warm water Un-Cruise Adventures: Active and Luxury. Both choices feature kayaks, hikes, and stand-up paddle boards (SUPs); underwater bow cameras and hydrophones; quality service; hand-crafted meals enhanced with local flavors; yoga classes led by onboard wellness instructors; and an experienced team of Expedition Leaders and Guides to provide instruction and narration along the way. Depending on which style you choose and which boat you’re on, the amenities and services included are exceptional, yet different.

Mexico’s Sea of Cortés World Heritage Site & Biosphere Reserve

Just south of California lies an inland sea known as the Gulf of California, Sea of Cortez, or Sea of Cortés. A birders paradise, this rich archipelago serves as an important bird refuge and migration corridor. It is a place author John Steinbeck found “ferocious with life” and described by Jacques Cousteau as “the aquarium of the world.” This UNESCO World Heritage Site & Biosphere Reserve is one of the most biologically diverse marine environments on earth.

Discover a world of breathtaking beauty on an island-hopping journey in wildlife-rich waters and on islands that are home to both plants and animals found nowhere else. Coastal mangroves and dunes, along with desert scrub and red rock cliffs provide the backdrop. Swim with playful sea lions, watch whales, and discover a centuries-old mission town. Hike nearby shores, rimmed with white-sand beaches and cactus-clad ridges, then play in impossibly brilliant turquoise waters. To explore this extraordinary place is to know firsthand how small the human presence here truly is.

Hawaiian IslandsThe Aloha State

Formerly known as the “Sandwich Islands”—as named by Captain Cook following his visit in 1778—this archipelago of volcanic islands and atolls sits at the center of the North Pacific Ocean marking the northeast corner of Polynesia. The island chain forms the largest marine sanctuary in the world and one of the world’s most important habitats for humpback whales. Two-thirds of the North Pacific population migrates to Hawaii each winter for breeding, calving, and nursing. We encounter many of these same humpbacks in Alaska where they feed during the summer months.

Mostly staying on the leeward side of the eastern-most Hawaiian Islands chain, explore remote shorelines and along the way view marine species and endangered animals, many native to the Hawaiian Islands. Experience traditional Hawaiian culture, meet the local people, and discover the natural gifts of these islands in a way only accessible on an Un-Cruise Adventure. Immerse yourself in this tropical wonderland to experience the islands from a different perspective.

7 nights Roundtrip La Paz, Baja California Sur — From $2,995

u La Paz u Isla Espíritu Santo u Los Islotes u Isla San Francisco u Bahia Agua Verde u Loreto u Island Exploration u

day 1 La Paz, Baja California Sur – embarkation

You will be met at the Los Cabos or La Paz airport for your transfer to the Safari Endeavour. The Captain and crew welcome you aboard just in time for a cocktail and dinner with your new mates.

day 2 Isla espíritu Santo

Wake up to a desert island paradise nestled in the gulf ’s rich ecosystem. Kick off your day with a brief orientation, and then it’s all ashore for a day of play. Beachcomb along the shell-strewn shore or hike inland among exotic desert cacti; kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and skiffing are ideal in this important marine habitat. Conditions permitting, there may be a late night snorkel under the stars.

day 3 Los Islotes / Isla San Francisco

Heave anchor early this morning and set sail for Los Islotes—a steep rocky outcropping leaping straight from the sea. Observe a sea lion colony from the ship and skiff, or slip into a wetsuit to snorkel with agile young sea lions. Swim through a rock arch where orange fan and white fire coral sway in the current, while high overhead, sea birds perch on the cliffs. At Isla San Francisco, a guided hike takes you among a forest of the world’s tallest cactus—the Cardón, or take to the calm waters for play.

day 4 Bahia Agua verde

Enjoy a lingering brunch then it’s off to shore. Clear waters are bordered by sparse craggy mountains hemmed in green. Explore canyons, enjoy scenic vistas, and experience the “real Baja.” Fill your day with spectacular hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. If we’re able, there may be a visit with a local ranchero. An evening BBQ makes time for music and sharing stories ashore.

day 5 Loreto

Loreto, the first Spanish settlement on the Baja California Peninsula, was founded in 1697. A guided tour takes you through the streets and plazas of this picturesque seaside village. Shop for local art and visit its historical buildings and missions. If the gray whales have arrived near Bahia Magdalena—where they’re known to migrate and calf—we’ll offer an optional excursion across the peninsula where you can ride in a panga and observe them in the lagoon. Get underway for an afternoon search for whales, dolphins and flying manta rays, and an evening of stargazing.

day 6 Whale Watching

Picturesque ledges of pink and orange bluffs and a search for marine life are on tap.

With binoculars in hand, keep your eyes peeled for pods of dolphins, blue, fin, sei, orca and sperm whales as they spout and dive in the surrounding waters. Blue-footed boobies, brown pelicans, cormorants, and gulls also make this area their home and on shore you may catch a glimpse of a Costa’s hummingbird or ash-throated flycatchers. Drop anchor in a hidden cove straight out of a movie set for a chance to kayak, snorkel, and beachcomb or to hike an inland sandy valley perfect for identifying animal tracks or climb a desert rim of breathtaking vistas. There’s even the possibility of a post-dinner swim in a bay sometimes filled with stunning bioluminescence.

Health and disability requirementsGuests must notify us in writing at the time of booking of any physical or mental illness, disability or other conditions for which special accommodations or the use of a wheelchair is necessary or contemplated.

We reserve the right to refuse passage to anyone who, in our sole opinion, may affect the health, safety or enjoyment of other guests. Guests requiring a wheelchair must provide their own collapsible wheelchair. Please be aware that some ports of call, shore excursions, docks, gangways and other ship requirements may preclude a wheelchair guest from leaving the vessel; this decision will be made by the Captain and is binding. Additionally, there may be certain physical conditions, including raised doorway thresholds from 2 to 16 inches, stairways and narrow passageways within the boat that may limit or preclude the accessibility of wheelchair guests to some areas.
