Islas Cedros, Natividad, and San Benito (without fishing package?)

No idea when I'll actually have the time to get down to these spots but figured I should get some info in advance - has anyone been to any of the islands off central Baja without doing the Cedros fishing package? I'm super interested in visiting these islands at some point for general nature photography and info is tough to come by. Not that I'm opposed to fishing, but I definitely can't afford the cost!

It's my impression that you can fly to Cedros via Guerrero Negro without the fishing package, and have heard secondhand that you can get a boat to Natividad via Punta Eugenia? For San Benito, I have never heard of anyone not a local fisherman getting out there other than via the really long, really expensive multi-week dive tours that go all the way down the coast from San Diego to the cape.

Would love to hear if anyone has been recently in the last year or two (I found some older info on here about boats from Tortugas but nothing since 2020). What's it like out there?
