Day 1 : Arrival In La Paz - Gateway To Adventure

Location: La Paz

Accommodation Name: hotel

As your plane touches down and the Baja sun greets you, a dedicated vehicle awaits to whisk you away to your first destination—the welcoming abode that will be your retreat in La Paz. Day one is all about unwinding from your journey and settling into the rhythm of this serene city. As the hotel staff provide a warm welcome, settle into your room and take in the views. 

The day is at your leisure, offering the perfect opportunity to familiarize yourself with La Paz's tranquil streets, sample local cuisine, or simply relax by the hotel pool. Rest up, for tomorrow your Baja exploration begins in earnest.


Day 2 : La Paz City Charms And Serene Beachfront Wonders

Location: La Paz

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

As morning light floods your room, begin your day with a delightful breakfast at the hotel, fueling up for the excitement ahead. Your exploration commences with a pick-up between 09:30 and 10:00 am, leading you on an enchanting city tour that delves into the rich tapestry of La Paz's cultural and historical landmarks.

Venture through the charming streets of the city centre, where each corner whispers stories of the past. Marvel at the grandeur of the Catedral de La Paz, discovering the city's spiritual heritage amidst its neoclassical splendour. Engage with local artisans and their crafts, encapsulating the spirit of Baja California Sur at the Centro de Artesanías Sudcalifornianas—a treasure trove of regional artistry.

Next, journey to the famed Playa Balandra, where the soft, white sands and tranquil, crystal-clear waters invite you to embrace the natural beauty of this protected area. Here, the iconic Balandra mushroom—a rock formation sculpted by wind and waves—stands as a sentinel to the serene surroundings.

Conclude your coastal experience at Playa El Tecolote, where a restaurant lunch awaits, embellishing the seaside ambiance with local flavours. Relish in the leisurely afternoon, perhaps taking a dip in the inviting sea or resting on the beach, as you reflect on the discoveries of the day.

As the sun dips towards the horizon, your journey returns to La Paz, where another restful night in your cozy hotel beckons, the memories of the day still vivid and enchanting.


Day 3 : Espiritu Santo Island Escapade

Location: La Paz

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

With the fresh sea air setting a refreshing tone, your day begins early after a satisfying hotel breakfast. Pickup from your hotel between 09:30 and 10:00 am ushers you into an aquatic adventure at the shimmering Sea of Cortez.

Your courteous transfer brings you to the embarkation zone, where a lancha awaits to voyage across sapphire waters to the majestic Espiritu Santo Island. Just 33 kilometres from La Paz, this island is a jewel of natural beauty, offering a kaleidoscope of red rock formations against the turquoise sea and vibrant sunsets.

The guided tour promises an intimate mingling with the island's abundant biodiversity. In the company of playful sea lions, immerse yourself in the underwater world with provided snorkelling gear, and float alongside these marine mammals (outside the restricted months of June to August). Feast your eyes on the palette of coral reefs, multicoloured fish, and perhaps even spot some of the island's 98 recorded bird species.

The spellbinding Ensenada Grande beach is your slice of paradise for relaxation. Here, a delicious lunch of fresh ceviche, sandwiches, and refreshing beverages will be served amidst the serene backdrop of the Sea of Cortez.

As the day unwinds and you head back to the main island, La Paz welcomes you once more with open arms. Rest and reminisce in your hotel, as the ocean's lullabies promise yet another night of peaceful slumber.


Day 4 : Los Cabos: From Artisan Villages To Iconic Arches

Location: Los Cabos

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

An energizing breakfast sets the tone for an early start; prepare for an expedition to the offbeat and the iconic. Begin your journey with a comfortable ride from La Paz as you're greeted by the soft hues of dawn. Set off between 08:00 and 08:30 am towards the artistic haven of Todos Santos—a Pueblo Mágico that brims with creative appeal.

In Todos Santos, be enveloped by the eclectic charm of this coastal village. Discover the legendary Hotel California, its legacy entwined with music lore. Amid cobbled streets, let your curiosity lead you to hidden corners where artisan shops showcase a mosaic of local crafts and where art galleries frame the town’s vibrant spirit.

Progressing to Cabo San Lucas, world-renowned for its luxury and natural splendour, you’ll embark on a distinctive boating experience. The glass-bottom vessel offers a lens into the aquatic wonders below as you glide towards the grand Arch of Los Cabos—an emblematic rock formation guarding the seascape.

Following your maritime exploration, the culinary aromas of a local restaurant welcome you to enjoy a fulfilling meal. Relish the authentic flavours as you dine on regional cuisine, an indulgence that complements the day's experiences.

No less captivating is San José del Cabo, where you'll absorb the quaint beauty of its mission and plazas. Linger among the expressive art and handiwork of the Huichol people before finishing the day with a tantalizing tequila tasting—discovering the nuanced craft behind Mexico's famous spirit (for those of age, of course).

As twilight beckons, your return drive weaves back through Todos Santos, escorting you to your La Paz lodging with a heart full of wonders and a camera full of memories. Another serene night in your hotel awaits, as the excitement of your Baja adventure steadily simmers into dreams.


Day 5 : Adiós La Paz - Departure Day

Location: La Paz

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Wake to the warm Baja light one last time and enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel. Today, you bid farewell to the enchanting city of La Paz, carrying with you the memories of the sun-kissed beaches and the cultural treasures explored over the past days.

Take your time to pack, ensuring you leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but photos and cherished moments. Perhaps there's a moment to sip a final cup of coffee on the terrace, gaze once more at the views that have been your backdrop, or exchange stories with fellow travellers.

When the moment comes, your transfer will be ready to ensure your journey from hotel to airport is as smooth and stress-free as the sea you've come to adore—rounding off your Baja Bliss with the grace it began. As your plane ascends, you're not just leaving La Paz behind; you're carrying a piece of it with you, promising to return to its beautiful shores again one day.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions.

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
