Horizon Destination : Cedros Island

yellowtailThis immense island, larger than California's Catalina Island, is located 285 miles south of San Diego and 15 miles east of Islas San Benito and 8 miles off of the Baja peninsula.

For scuba divers and freedivers, this island is relatively unexplored as we have visited it's beautiful kelp forests, pinnacles and pinniped rookeries on only 3 occasions. But you will find Cedros listed on a more regular basis in 2009 and beyond.

Our eco adventures to Cedros provide excellent day hikes with the views from the top of its 3500 foot tall spine absolutely breathtaking! We have two hiking routes up large arroyos that lead us to the top. The southern most trail leads past an abandon copper mine, and makes you wonder how they moved the heavy equipment up such a small ravine.

Psealioninnipeds are in full force here, with large elephant seal rookeries lining the north-eastern shoreline and California sea lions abundant everywhere else. The kelp forests of the western and southern sides are lush and ready for exploration.

This destination is for intermediate to advanced divers and explorers. We visit Isla Cedros on our Eco and Scuba Adventures and plan to spend more time here in the near future.

Look for itineraries that include the unexplored Island of Cedros!
