My husband and I recently visited Loreto, Mexico and it was a wonderful visit. We did some sight seeing on our own but also used the tour company of Wild Loreto for an all day tour to the Pacific to see the gray whales and their calves. It was awesome and our tour guide, Chalio, was wonderful. He knew when the whales were getting ready to come up and we had our cameras ready. We liked our tour to the see the whales with Chalio so much that we decided to take another tour to Coronado Island that is in the National Marine National Park in Loreto Bay in order to see more marine life! Marine life we saw in all its glory; we saw sea lions, all sorts of birds including the blue footed booby, dolphins, and had a beautiful hike on a clean and well marked trail that revealed millions of years of geologic activity. All stunning and Chalio was a wonderful guide. I hope Loreto Bay stays protected as the ecological wonder that it is.

Snorkeling in the reefs of Loreto bay the Marine park and adventures in the canyons of la sierra la Giganta
Reviewed By petermV3601KC
Said took us to mesquite Canyon south of Loreto for a hike. He was great and made the trip fun with his humor and his knowledge of the canyon and it's flora and fauna. The hike was spectacular, but the water was was cold and required a lot of swimming and wading. He has short wet suits that make it a little easier. I would recommend Said and this hike.

This surfside avenue is Loreto's center for peoplewatching, by day and night.
Reviewed By K1488OSkevins - San Diego, United States
I would visit this place any time. Much better than La Paz!! Very clean and touristy with so much history. Nice people and very relaxing quiet city on an isolated type of beach. The city is a great place to visit with some beautiful churches and missions with so much Mexican culture here. We could not believe how well the city was kept up and taken care of for some many years. Really cool place to visit.
