Espiritu Santo is a pristine 31 square mile island that was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1995. Mexico declared it a national park in 2007, thus ensuring its environmental protection for generations to come. The waters of the Sea of Cortez that surround the island are home to a stunning plethora of marine wildlife including: sea lions, whale sharks (don’t worry - they are filter feeders, they strain tiny food like plankton from the water!), dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays and beautiful tropical fish. Don’t spend all of your time looking down, though! This area also has fantastic bird watching; you may see herons, turkey vultures, cormorants, pelicans and more. At the end of the day, collapse into your comfortable tent. When you think of camping, you may think of roughing it in the wilderness. Though we'll be in tents we'll enjoy the unique experience of a makeshift beach-front cafe where our on-site chef prepares our meals and serves a daily happy hour! Margarita, anyone?
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodations: Camping on Isla Espiritu Santo
Daily Activities: Kayaking, snorkeling, standup paddleboarding, swimming (activities dependent on wind and currents)
Each day our local guides will plan excursion options around and across the island based on the tides, winds, and weather. With a diversely colored strata proudly displaying the island’s geology, our camp is so much more than just a gorgeous beach. The island originated from tectonic elevation and you can see as much in its surface of volcanic rocks and marine sediment. The high ground reaches nearly 2,000 feet above sea level and is studded with cardon cacti, an ecological cousin to the mainland saguaro cacti. The Pericú people who inhabited the island thousands of years ago left funerary caves, rock art and fish hooks made of seashells. In 1535, the island was christened “Island of the Pearls” after the rich pearl oyster beds found along the western shores and was then baptized and renamed as “Espiritu Santo” or “Holy Spirit” a century later. Although hiking on the island is minimal, excursions may take you to lava rock formations, interesting cave art, alluring hidden lagoons, and tranquil beaches.

The guides were very knowledgeable and everything was very flexible.
I don't use this word lightly but this trip was genuinely magical at times. Swimming with sea lions, watching manta rays jump, seeing giant sea turtles poke their heads out of the water, being surrounded by so many amazing and different kinds of birds and fish, having a whole pod of dolphins surround our boat, soaking in views of the stunning turquoise waters, vivid sunsets and moonrises, and uncontaminated views of the stars ... I could go on, there were just so many awe-inspiring experiences made possible by the incredibly hardworking guides at TOSEA and the staff at Camp Cecil. This area is an absolute gem and I feel so fortunate to have spent time in it.
So many things....our guides,. Connie/AGC and Nisha and Paulina were all amazing! All the crew ( boat captain, Chef, etc) were also all amazing. Really nice place to stay in town, (Los Colibris) and the camp site on the island was also really nice, beautiful setting.
Emily and Octavio were terrific! It was a fun trip with a lot of different activities. The TOSEA crew were wonderful, I felt as if I was at a five start Michelin restaurant!
Traveling with my good friend, the camp was great and the food was exceptional. Loved swimming with the sea lions.
Great group of people in an amazing place with a local guide and staff that went truly above and beyond any expectations. Octavio our local guide from TOSEA is one of the best humans I have ever met. Not only did he share his passion for his country, culture and the environment he made us feel like we were part of his family. What a gem. All of the TOSEA staff were truly exceptional. Please pass that along to the owners of TOSEA.
