During our fourth day exploring the waters and islands around the peninsula of Baja California we visited a couple of different places. We spent the morning hiking at La Encantada Beach on the western shore of San Jose Island where we encountered numerous creatures, including a male Costa’s hummingbird that spontaneously landed on one of our natural history staff’s hand!
After leaving San Jose Island, we enjoyed another wonderful moment when a group of approximately one hundred and fifty long-beaked common dolphins joined our ship and delighted everyone as they swam alongside us.
We later landed on Dispensa Beach located on the southern end of Espiritu Santo Island and had a great time beachcombing and hiking, finishing another awesome day in the Sea of Cortez.
