Adventure Overview
On this Baja Sampler kayaking and island hopping adventure our local guides share some of their favorite spots in the Sea of Cortez. From La Paz, we’ll travel by boat to three distinctly beautiful islands—Espiritu Santo, San Jose and San Francisquito—taking time to explore each location from several different campsites. In addition to kayaking excursions where a myriad of marine life takes center stage, a range of other daily activities that cater to a variety of interests creates a flexible and laid-back itinerary for travelers. Paddle through a mangrove estuary, snorkel with friendly sea lions, hike to a scenic ridge to watch for dolphins, or hop on a skiff for a fishing session. Each day offers new adventures and possibilities in this slice of paradise. In the evenings, kick back on the beach or go for a swim in the inviting turquoise waters while guides prepare freshly-caught seafood and other delicious Mexican dishes. This is a Baja vacation at its best.
