About Us:
Baja Spirit (originally “Baja AirVentures”) was founded in 1989 by Kevin Warren. Since then with the help of his wife, Carolina – Baja Spirit has gone on to bring thousands of guests to one of the most untouched and beautiful destinations in the world – hidden only an 8 hour drive from San Diego, California.
For 3 decades, we’ve been driven by the fulfillment of bringing people to this unique, boat-in only location on the Sea of Cortez. We’re known for our small group tours where strangers become friends, and a high percent of returning guests and word of mouth referrals.
In addition to our commitment to help preserve the wilderness here, and cultivating a deeper appreciation and respect for nature, we are proud to bring opportunity to our incredible and loyal Mexican staff and support the local economy.

Great remote location, like being on a desert island. Food was excellent, yurts were very comfortable, and the scenery was incredible. We kayaked, snorkeled with sea lions, hiked the beautiful surrounding area and generally had a good time.
There is NOTHING in this world like snorkeling with these magnificent behemoths…
They (whale sharks) are gentle creatures… a once-in-a-lifetime encounter will happen (or many more, in our case).
My daughter and I had a great trip last month with Baja Spirit. We saw almost too many whales to count in the first two days of the trip. And Las Animas was remote and beautiful, lots of good food and conversation. Best trip ever! Can’t wait to travel with Baja Spirit again to swim with the whale sharks!
