“It was never my intention to start a business,” founder Tim Means (1944 - 2019) reflected over his break-of-dawn cafecito (coffee). “It was always about a way of life.”

Tim fell in love with the desert and its ecosystems at an early age. Tim turned his childhood fascination with the desert into a lifetime of commitment to conservation – he has run eco-adventures for more than four decades to share his vision with others. Friends chuckle that “gravity brought Tim Means to Baja California” – metaphorically following the rapids of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, where he was a raft guide in his early career, down to the waters of the Sea of Cortez.  In the top picture on this page, Tim rows his dory fearlessly into a Grand Canyon wave, proudly flying the Mexican flag.  Tim joked, "You should have seen the next picture.  You can only see the flag."

Family owned and operated since 1974, Baja Expeditions offers sustainable tourism that supports local environmental education, field research, conservation efforts, and as much time outside as possible – indeed a way of life. We collaborate with a variety of partners to provide access to the rich biodiversity in the deserts and seas of the Baja peninsula, its wilderness and official Natural Protected Areas. We take seriously our role as a part of the community advocating for this area's sustainable management and preservation.

Constantly connecting motivated folks often begins at Tim's kitchen table. If you can wrangle an invitation, you may find yourself across from a world-renowned nature photographer, a public radio reporter, or a local student with a bright idea, such as a battery-recycling project.

Means is one of Baja’s California’s true wild land advocates, as well as collector of both curios and like-minded citizens. A Sudcaliforniano at heart, he continues to call the desert and sea home. Means is a recognizable and decidedly colorful local character, and from fisherman to presidents, anyone who has ever visited La Paz by sea probably knows him and likely can produce his customary “Woooooooooooooop,” a booming greeting borrowed from Baja California rancheros, followed by a chuckle to himself. Tim Means will get your attention!
