CABO SAN LUCAS, MX. March 7, 2017 - The Resort at Pedregal, a luxurious AAA Five-Diamond Resort in Cabo San Lucas, is now offering discerning jet-setters the ultimate in curated travel with the debut of its distinctive Beyond the Beach: Baja Luxploration program. From swimming with whale sharks and snorkeling with sea lions to surfing coveted breaks, the elite destination is enlisting a roster of naturalists and pro adventurers to check off the boldest of bucket lists for 2017.

“Baja is heaven on earth when it comes to exploring, and we're situated at the heart of it all,” said General Manager Fernando Flores. “These itineraries provide guest experiences that not only push the boundaries, but educate; in 2017, modern-day, sophisticated travelers are seeking both.”

The curated collection of six itineraries reveal the magical spontaneity of Baja's diverse landscape, from a volcanic island where sea lions frolic to rugged mountain terrain dotted with secret swimming holes. The resort has insider access to naturalists, adventurers, farmers and artisans, who will lend their know-how and personal narrative, adding substance and character to each experience. And in the true Resort at Pedregal spirit, itineraries will be luxuriously tailored from high-level culinary menus to post-journey pampering.

Aboard a private yacht, the Explore Espiritu Santo Island outing navigates the dramatic volcanic terrain, secret coves and white sand beaches of the UNESCO-protected archipelago, referred to as “The Galapagos of North America.” Savor fresh ceviche and guacamole while manta rays skim across the water and frigate birds circle above. The real treat, however, is the day's Los Islotas destination, where one can snorkel and play alongside sea lions. On the return trip, sip champagne as the sun sets over Balandra Bay with sailboats and paddle boarders silhouetted against tangerine skies.

Off the calm bay shores of La Paz, the thrilling underwater adventure lies in wait with Bucket List: Swim with Whale Sharks. Nobody knows the kingdom of theworld's largest known fish species better than our captains, who precisely navigate panga motorboats through crystal clear waters to spot the distinctive white-polka dot gentle giants. Growing up to 40-feet in length with mouths up to five-feet wide, the initial instinct is to flee but with expert guides snorkeling alongside, prepare for an enthralling, hypnotic expedition. Revel in your renegade tales over an organic, locally grown lunch in the colonial, cobblestone-lined town of Todos Santos or a curated picnic lunch, compliments of the resort, before returning to the comforts of your luxurious resort.

Going backcountry has never been so bold or beautiful than with the Secrets of Baja's Sierra, discovering a fairytale landscape in chauffeured 4x4 jeeps. Outside the tiny town of Santiago lies an enchanted wonderland where guests are guided on hikes through lush flora, granite hidden waterfalls, swimming holes and hot springs. The recharge: local legend Doña Luz will demonstrate tortilla-making for endless quesadillas with Rancho El Refugio ecological reserve as the rustic backdrop.

Both the East Cape and Cerritos are a paradise for A-list wave riders around the world, and Baja Sur's Surfing Playground is a peek into the beautiful beaches, bays, coves and cliffs. Whether learning to “pop up” in a beginner lesson at the sandy-bottomed breaks of Los Cerritos or practicing cutbacks on the speedy, right reef break of Zippers, local pros will tailor trips with additional activities like snorkeling and stand up paddle boarding. Bonus: epic catered meals will be energy-fueled for catching that next barrel.

For the “Ocean Miracle” of Cabo Pulmo Marine Park, dive into the dazzling turquoise coves where ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau once famously proclaimed Baja's Sea of Cortez as “the world's aquarium.” Our bilingual naturalists will lead you on snorkeling and SUP excursions through living coral reefs teeming with vibrant swarming schools of yellow pork fish and sun bathing colonies of sea lions. An international treasure, the UNESCO protected Cabo Pulmo Marine Park is heralded as a marine conservation success story.

Your life is a postcard for Sunrise Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) at Baja Peninsula's iconic Land's End where the dramatic rock formations jut out to forge “El Arco.” The natural arch, with a story steeped in romance and local lore, is where the turbulent Pacific Ocean meets the tranquil Sea of Cortez. The stage is set for an ultimate private paradise with a brunch picnic.
