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 eight-day Sea of Cortez Islands Expeditions begin just south of Loreto and explore the beautiful Islas Danzante and Carmen, located in a national marine park.

Skiffs take you into the bay for a closer look at the magnificent California Gray Whale. Includes van transportation from Loreto and a naturalist guide. You'll bring home a lifetime of memories.
