Baja Quest specializes in providing logistical support to natural history
documentary productions of the Sea of Cortez and Baja Peninsula. Our staff
is composed of multilingual naturalists, instructors and local people
who are very knowledgeable of the area's climate and biodiversity.
We believe that environmental education of people is necessary for the
conservation of our natural resources. Film and TV media have a strong
impact over adults and children's perception of the oceans and the importance
of caring for it.

providing logistical support to many documentaries such as:
