Best airport
La Paz is the easiest airport for most guests. Los Cabos can work well when flight schedules or prices are better, but the drive is longer.

How to get to La Ventana for a Bajablue trip
Plan flights, transfers, lodging, and meeting points before your La Ventana water day starts.
The simplest Bajablue itinerary is to arrive before your water day, sleep in La Ventana, and meet the team early with your bag already packed. That keeps the morning calm and gives the crew room to make the best route decision for the weather.
For multi-day guests, airport transfers and La Ventana Hostel accommodation can be part of the expedition package. For Ocean Safari guests, the key decision is whether to base in La Ventana or drive from La Paz early enough to avoid a rushed start.

Best base
Sleeping in La Ventana the night before a trip makes the morning easier, especially when wind and route decisions matter.
Meeting point
Ocean Safari meets at the Playa Central boat ramp. Blue Expedition and Master Seafari meet at La Ventana Hostel.
Transfers
Multi-day expedition formats can include airport transfers. Day-trip guests should confirm transport timing before booking flights.
Short answer
Fly to La Paz if convenience is the priority
La Paz airport is usually the cleanest arrival point for a La Ventana marine wildlife trip because the drive is shorter and the route is simpler. Los Cabos can still be practical, especially for international flights, but guests should budget more transfer time.
The most important rule is to avoid same-morning flight pressure. Wildlife trips are weather-sensitive, and the crew should be thinking about the ocean, not waiting on delayed luggage.
Where to sleep
La Ventana is the easiest base for early departures
Staying in La Ventana lets guests wake up close to the boat, check wind conditions, and meet the team without a long pre-dawn drive. Bajablue's expedition formats are connected to La Ventana Hostel, giving multi-day guests a simple basecamp.
If you stay in La Paz, plan the drive carefully and confirm meeting time the day before. Roads, rental car pickup, breakfast, and parking all take more time than people expect.
Ocean Safari timing
Plan around an early start and a full water day
Ocean Safari is built as a six-hour marine wildlife day. Guests should arrive ready for sun, wind, wet gear, lunch onboard, and a route that changes with real conditions.
If you are driving in the morning, leave a buffer. The best start is unhurried: sunscreen applied, dry bag ready, water bottle filled, and enough time to hear the safety briefing.
- Confirm the meeting point with Bajablue before the trip.
- Arrive with swimwear, towel, sun protection, and a wind layer.
- Keep the evening after the trip flexible in case the day runs long.
- Avoid scheduling a tight flight immediately after a water day.
Multi-day trips
Expedition guests should plan the whole arrival window
Blue Expedition and Master Seafari include more moving parts: accommodation, meals, water days, transfers, equipment, and weather decisions. That makes arrival timing more important than it is for a short sightseeing activity.
Ask Bajablue which flight window is easiest for your dates. The right answer depends on airport choice, group schedule, and whether you are arriving before the package begins.
