La Paz and Loreto Mexico? What is there?

[ctemkg]

Hi. We have never been to La Paz and Loreto. It is offered on an itinerary we are looking at. We have been to Cabo (good snorkling and massages), PV (several tourist attractions and Walmart), and Ensenada.

 

Please share what these ports are like and possibly compare then to Cabo, PV, or Ensenada. We are trying to figure out if there is something interesting or worthwhile there to see or do.

 

Thanks.

Just returned from cruise that stopped in both places. Honestly, we weren't terribly impressed with La Paz...probably because we took a ship excursion (La Paz City and Artisans) that was dreadful. The malecon looked beautiful (though we didn't stop there) and some friends who live in Loreto said that they enjoy La Paz very much. As for Loreto...it was our favorite stop. Beautiful little town...lots of nice restaurants and shops and a gorgeous waterfront. Went on a panga to Coronados Island...fabulous. Saw hundreds of dolphins and a blue whale surfaced just a few yards from our boat. The water was crystalline but a bit too cold for comfortable snorkeling, but you could wade our a few feet and look down and see fish! I suspect that Cabo was this nice a few years ago.

Did you have a tour for the panga, or did you purchase this tour at the port? We are looking for something like this, but not having much luck, Do you remember how much you paid.

 

Any information will be greatly appreciated,
