CEDO
CEDO, about 3km along Las Conchas, is a wonderful place to learn about the fascinating desert-meets-sea eco-system of Rocky Point. Dedicated to the conservation of the upper Gulf of California and surrounding Sonoran desert, CEDO offers free tours with a natural-history talk in English at 2pm Tuesday and 4pm Saturday, and its ‘Earthship’ visitor center has a good store. CEDO also runs a fascinating program of nature tours, some in collaboration with local cooperatives. These range from tidepool explorations, wetland bird walks and kayaking on nearby Morúa estuary to excursions to Isla San Jorge or El Pinacate Biosphere Reserve. Prices range from M$195/130 to around M$900/…

Sun n’ Fun
You can arrange things through an agency like Sun n’ Fun, where Isla San Jorge trips cost around M$1500 for divers and M$1100 for snorkelers or sightseers, and fishing charters up to seven hours run between M$650 and M$1300 per person. Sea-fishing, snorkeling, diving, kayaking and sunset cruises are all popular. Swimming with the sea lions at Isla San Jorge (Bird Island) is an outstanding trip and the water temperature stays above 21°C from May to October.
