Norwegian Jade Pt. 4 | La Paz Cruise Port | Wildlife Excursion (Mexico)

Welcome to Day 4 of our Norwegian Jade 6-Night Mexican Riviera Cruise. In this Norwegian Jade cruise vlog, we arrive at the La Paz cruise port and take part in a Baja Wildlife & Flora Excursion, where we had an unexpected tarantula encounter. This video begins with highlights from the previous evening onboard Norwegian Jade, including cocktails, dinner, entertainment, and relaxing balcony views, before disembarking in La Paz for a small-group wildlife excursion. During the excursion, we visit a local wildlife center and learn about native animals of Baja California, including turtles, snakes, lizards, birds, and a tarantula. It was an educational and surprising experience and a unique way to explore La Paz beyond the port area. If you’re researching Norwegian Jade, planning a Mexican Riviera cruise, or enjoy cruise vlogs with wildlife encounters and shore excursions, this episode gives a real look at what to expect. 🐾 In This Episode Evening Before | Onboard Norwegian Jade • Cocktails at The Great Outdoors Bar • Dinner at the Garden Café • ABBA Tribute by Soundbeat – Spinnaker Lounge • Evening views from our forward-facing balcony • International Crew Talent Show – Stardust Theater • Nightcap at Tankards Beer & Whiskey Bar Day 4 | La Paz Cruise Port • Disembarking in La Paz, Mexico • Baja Wildlife & Flora Excursion • Visit to the Serpentario wildlife center • Wildlife presentation including turtles, snakes, and a tarantula • Feeding birds in the aviary • Scenic ride back to the port • Browsing art and shops near the La Paz cruise port We didn’t expect to see a tarantula on a cruise excursion 🕷️ Would you do a wildlife tour like this in La Paz? ⏱️ Video Chapters 00:00 Mexican Riviera Cruise – La Paz Baja Wildlife & Flora Excursion 00:35 Sunset View of Cabo San Lucas 00:46 Cocktails at The Great Outdoors Bar – Norwegian Jade 00:56 Dinner at the Garden Café (NCL Jade) 01:30 ABBA Tribute by Soundbeat – Spinnaker Lounge 01:43 Evening Views of Cabo from Our Forward-Facing Balcony 02:05 International Crew Talent Show – Stardust Theater 02:46 Nightcap at Tankards Beer & Whiskey Bar 03:33 Morning at Moderno’s Suite Breakfast 03:52 Disembarking at the La Paz Cruise Port 03:59 Finding Our Baja Wildlife & Flora Excursion at the Port 04:15 Small-Group Bus Ride (Only 9 Guests) with Guide Marco 04:20 Visit to the Serpentario Wildlife Center 05:10 Wildlife Presentation: Nebulas Turtle 05:39 Five-Toed Worm Lizard 05:52 Bull Snake 06:10 California King Snake 06:18 Tarantula Encounter 07:07 Touring the Exhibits: Mexican Gray Fox 07:40 Iguanas 07:50 Injured Owl 08:00 Tortoises 08:32 Feeding Birds in the Aviary (A Parrot Took Off with the Food!) 10:35 Scenic Bus Ride Back to the La Paz Port 12:03 Browsing Local Art & Shops at the La Paz Port 13:04 Returning to Our Cabin – Room Refreshed 13:14 Wrap-Up & What’s Next – San Diego → Cabo → La Paz Cruise Vlog 🚢 Cruise Details: • Cruise Line: Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) • Ship: Norwegian Jade • Sailing: November 1–8, 2025 • Itinerary: San Diego → Cabo San Lucas → La Paz → San Diego • Length: 6-Night Mexican Riviera Cruise 🌊 Subscribe to Calm Sea Cruise | Cruise Vlogs, Tips & Ship Experiences At Calm Sea Cruise, we share real cruise experiences to help you cruise smarter and travel better. 🌴🚢 📺 Subscribe on YouTube:👉 https://www.youtube.com/@CalmSeaCruise 🎓 Learn More with Grounded Life (Affiliate Links) If you’re over 40 and interested in creating a successful YouTube channel or planning meaningful retirement travel, we highly recommend these courses: ▶️ YouTube After 40: https://groundedlife.thinkific.com/courses/youtube-after-40?ref=8ea664 ▶️ Retirement Travel Jumpstart: https://groundedlife.thinkific.com/courses/retirement-travel-jumpstart?ref=8ea664 ▶️ Bundle – YouTube + Retirement Travel: https://groundedlife.thinkific.com/bundles/retirement-travel-jumpstart-youtube-after-40?ref=8ea664 🧳 Cruise Essentials, Packing & Filming Gear Explore all the products we personally use for packing, cruising, and filming—our must-have gear for every voyage. 🛍️ Amazon Storefront → https://www.amazon.com/shop/calmseacruise 🎒 Packing & Travel Gear → https://amzn.to/4p9JbCv We earn a small commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. 🎥 Our YouTube Filming Gear 📸 Main Camera – Sony ZV-E10 🌊 Underwater – GoPro Max 🚶‍♀️ Walking Shots – DJI Osmo-3 📱 Photos & B-roll – iPhone 17 Pro 👉 Full Gear List: https://amzn.to/46WjRsP 📄 FREE Cruise Packing Checklist Planning a cruise?
