Espiritu Santo Island Circumnavigation
More...
Overview
Sea Kayaking and camping on Espiritu Santo Island allow us the opportunity to explore the beautiful white sand beaches of Baja, hike in canyons adorned with hanging fig trees, boulder up arroyos and snorkel with friendly sea lions and tropical fish. Our flexible itinerary facilitates a variety of activities for a variety of interests from hiking and paddling to snorkeling and fishing. Besides exploring the many hidden coves by kayak, other guided activities from our base camp include skiff excursions to nearby snorkeling “hot spots.” We’ll visit a sea lion rookery where we join these graceful creatures in the water, swimming alongside them while enjoying their playful and curious nature first hand.
Itinerary at a Glance
Sea Kayaking and Whale Watching Magdalena Bay
Each year Pacific gray whales migrate 5000 miles from the Arctic to the warmth of Baja’s western shore to breed or give birth to their calves. Our whale watching trips to Magdalena Bay offer friendly, gentle contact with these playful creatures and their newborns combined with sea kayaking and snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez.
