Imagine sea kayaking along a
spectacular section of the Sea of Cortez coastline
and exploring desert islands piercing the tranquil
waters. The towering volcanic escarpments of the
Sierra Giganta Mountains rising out of the sea
create your backdrop. On a Baja kayak tour you'll
experience red-hued desert colors, azure blue water
and magical land forms give this area great
aesthetic and photographic appeal. These waters
offer exceptional opportunities for viewing
dolphins, sea lions and blue whales in the wild.
High-flying frigate birds, blue-footed boobies and
squadrons of pelicans are your companions as you
kayak past manta rays and brightly colored fish.
Huge cacti thrive in this captivating landscape of
white sand beaches, dramatic cliffs and hidden
coves. Nature hikes take us up scenic canyons and
headlands offering unforgettable panoramas of wild
coastline and scattered islands. Kayaks are the best
way to explore the volcanic shoreline, its sea caves
and reefs. The warm, crystalline waters of the Sea
of Cortez host a breathtaking array of tropical fish
- perfect for snorkeling.
Each winter endangered blue whales more than five
times as long as your kayak migrate to these waters
looking for tasty crustaceans. Encountering the
largest animal on earth is a thrilling experience.
Our seven- to eight-day Sea of Cortez Islands
Expeditions begin just south of Loreto and explore
