Liveaboard Ports of Departure and How to Get There
Guadalupe Island liveaboards depart in the evening from San Diego in the USA or in the morning from Ensenada, Mexico. San Diego is connected throughout North America by United and US Airways, and with the UK via British Airways. Ensenada near Tijuana, is connected with AeroMexico from Los Angeles, New York and many other US cities, as well as international flights via Mexico City from London, Madrid and Paris. Most trips are for between 4 or 5 nights' duration. More information on: How to get to Mexico.
You can view which ports the various boats use on their trips in the 'Departures & Prices' section of each boat's webpage. Whichever ports your boat uses, normally the boat operator provides a transfer to the boat from the local hotels (if you overnight beforehand). We will send you full departure details during the booking process.
We recommend you take out insurance to cover diving and travel activities, including trip cancellation. See our insurance program for a competitive quotation:
