What I’ve come to enjoy most as an Adventure Guide is watching people be amazed and touched by nature. Seeing their eyes and spirit glow from that connection is priceless…

I grew up in Mexico City, became a marine biologist and gracefully transformed into an Adventure Guide.  Since 1989, I’ve led nature adventures, by land and sea, from the equator to the sub-arctic:

• In Texas, I taught kids at sea camps and led kayaking & birding tours around the bay’s marsh habitat and coastal beaches.
• In the Florida Keys, I took kids and Elderhostels (now Road Scholars) exploring in the coral reefs, sea-grass beds and mangroves.
• In Cancun, I led eco-tours around the Yucatan Peninsula.
• In Baja, I guided birding, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking and gray whale watching expeditions.
• In Hawaii, I narrated on whale watching boats and led snorkeling trips.
• In Churchill (Canada), I led polar bear and beluga whale watching tours.
• In Southeast Alaska, I guided whale watching, birding, kayaking, fishing and hiking trips from adventure cruises.

In 2016, I made Anacortes, WA my home and launched Skagit Guided Adventures to professionally serve as your Northwest Washington Adventure Tour Guide & Naturalist. I invite you to “Re-Wild” Your Spirit! in NW Washington on any of my Adventures.  Satisfaction guaranteed!
