“The Gulf of California is world-renowned for its rich biodiversity and natural beauty, and truly belongs to all citizens of the world. To protect it, Baja Expeditions is committed to reducing our footprint, leaving no trace and minimizing environmental impact by recycling, composting, and using “green” products and power sources. We are proud of our recent affiliation with the WHA and the growing role we play in promoting the natural and cultural heritage of the area, as well as protecting the legacy of its past and present for future generations.” --Tim Means, owner and founder, Baja Expeditions

Baja Expeditions is the world's leader in eco-adventures to Baja, and the oldest and largest adventure travel expedition operator in Baja California, Mexico. The company was founded by Tim Means, one of Baja's first adventure tourism operators, in 1974. He's been a leader in conservation efforts ever since, working with organizations such as the The International Community Foundation, Fund for the Protected Areas in Southern Baja California, Pro Peninsula, Group Tortuquero, The Nature Conservancy, Ecology Project International, World Wildlife Fund, and Ocean Conservancy.
