UnCruise Adventures Targets Community-Led Tourism in Baja

The 66-guest Safari Voyager will anchor these expeditions, offering itineraries that prioritize direct interaction with local residents rather than large-scale tourism infrastructure. CEO Dan Blanchard emphasizes that the company’s operational strategy hinges on sourcing seafood from local fishermen’s collectives and organic produce from family farms in Miraflores. These partnerships extend to cultural experiences, such as the long-standing collaboration with the Romero family in Bahía Agua Verde, who provide horses and mules for guest excursions through the arroyo.

Travelers booking by December 31, 2026, can secure a $500 discount on all departures. The expeditions range from an eight-night "Whales & Sealife" journey to an 11-night "In Steinbeck's Wake" voyage, both departing from San José del Cabo. Beyond the wildlife—which includes whale sharks, blue whales, and sea lion colonies—the cruise fare covers all excursions, meals, and beverages, with a first-night hotel stay now included as a standard feature starting in 2027.
