If you are staying at a different property in Loreto, you can take a cab from the host hotel to your final destination. A box lunch will be provided for all guests.

These trips require a higher level of mobility, including navigating steep stairs on the ship, walking on sandy, rocky or uneven terrain, hiking up gentle hills, and getting in and out of zodiacs/pangas from the ship and shore. We will arrange activities for those who are very active, as well as for those with less mobility. There are no elevators on the ship. If you do have limited mobility that requires assistance, you are required to travel with someone who can assist you. Please contact us with any questions.
