Searcher Natural History Tours, owned and operated by Celia Condit and Art Taylor, has established a tradition of providing quality ecotourism to Baja California. Our mission is to observe marine animals in their natural environment and to share that experience with our passengers.

Art Taylor has owned Searcher since 1985 and has been guiding vessels in Baja's waters for over 20 years. He is intensely dedicated to the people and wildlife conservation of Baja California and receives immense enjoyment sharing that with his passengers.

Our crew is specially selected for their knowledge of the Baja California waters and its inhabitants. They are licensed captains, experienced skiff operators, and trained in safety maneuvers. We hire a professional cooking team to prepare and serve meals that are often described as gourmet.

Celia Condit came to the tour-operator business through work as a naturalist aboard a variety of boats, all heading south to Baja's waters. She joined her husband Art in the venture of Searcher Natural History Tours and tends to the shore-based aspects of the business.

Join us to encounter the beauty of Baja California--abundant whales and dolphins, unusual desert plant life, uninhabited islands, awesome sunrises and sunsets, spectacular snorkeling and bird watching, and unparalleled vistas of the peninsula against the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.
