Creator's Key Takeaways
We absolutely love cruising. We cruise fairly often and we've done the Mexican Riviera itinerary a bunch of times
Swimming with the whale sharks. We booked this with Diamante Tours when we did this the first time. The experience was awesome.
Balandra Beach is famous for the shallow turquoise water and white white sand. It's probably one of your best options in the Mexican Riviera ports if you want a beautiful beach day.
La Paz is generally considered very safe. It's super laid-back, especially in the tourist areas.
