You will change campsites almost every night, but may have a layover day. Camp sites are assigned by the National Park Service immediately prior to the tour. Kayaking trips are motorboat-supported, so in case you get very tired or don’t want to paddle anymore, you’re welcome to ride in the panga instead!

What happens if it’s too windy to paddle?

If it’s too windy to paddle, your guides will have alternative activities for guests to enjoy. There are opportunities to snorkel, hike, or just relax on the beach with a margarita. Your guides plan their itineraries to minimize risks posed by weather, but there is always an element of unpredictability in nature. The risk of capsizing is reduced by the stable boats, but still exists. All their kayak guides are certified in kayak rescue.

Is it safe to be around whales in sea kayaks?

Your guides take every measure to ensure that you and your family are in a safe situation while paddling. You will paddle large, expedition-style sea kayaks. Their size, girth, and weight make them very stable to paddle! But still, as with all adventure travel, there is an inherent risk that comes along with this sort of travel, as well as multiple external factors and variables that are outside of our control. Your guides have never experienced a situation in which a whale has harmed a kayaker in the water. The whales are very aware of their surroundings, and you will maintain a safe distance at all times.

In the off-season, she’s either teaching yoga or working on her sailboat in Puerto Vallarta, dreaming of sailing it across the Pacific.

Beach camping & food

Beach camping

You will change campsites almost every night, but may have a layover day. Your guides will try to secure the very best campsites for the natural beauty and amenities of the area. They will give a demonstration of how to set up and take down your provided dome tent. A sleeping bag, liner sheet, pillow, and an inflatable thermarest sleeping pad are also provided. There will be a kitchen/dining area and shade tarps where you can sit back and relax.

There are no fresh water sources on most of the coastline and islands we visit. You can clean up with saltwater and soap off above the high tide line, or bring disposable shower wipes. A porta potty will be transported to each campsite and set into a sheltered area for solid waste. Liquid waste can be expelled below the high tide line, or in a separate porta-potty bucket.

At camp there will be activities such as frisbee, playing cards and volleyball nets, along with a small library of books about flora and fauna of the area that you are welcome to at all times.

Food

Renowned wilderness meals are prepared daily by your guides using local, fresh, and healthy ingredients. In Baja, you can expect an authentic dining experience, with savory dishes like chiles rellenos, tostadas, ceviche, and chicken mole. Your guides even serve delicious desserts like brownies and pineapple upside-down cake! Each morning, freshly brewed coffee or tea is served. Throughout the day, an abundance of local fruits, vegetables, and other snacks is provided. Wine and mixed drinks are served with hors d’oeuvres each evening for happy hour.

Your guides will do their best to accommodate special dietary requests, working within the parameters of the destinations in which they operate. Please inform us about your dietary requirements upon booking. If you have a very strict diet, your guides recommend packing extra snacks that you know you can eat.

The Loreto islands tour trip was absolutely EPIC. This was my second time doing it (did it 10 years ago) and had to go back. This time I brought 6 girlfriends and they all had an absolute blast. The islands are magical. The sea life is abundant – we saw whales, dolphins, manta rays, turtles and so many fish. And the guides are amazing. Sherman was an amazing head guide. he was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Jennifer, Damian, Vicki, Tania and Rodolfo were also fantastic. the food was delicious, the guide team were there for everything, including snorkeling, baking cakes, sharing drinks with us and the whole group had a trip of a lifetime. I’ll be back! Highly highly recommend.

Kate Koffman (source: Google Reviews)

Incredible experience. Sherman, Jenny & Damien were simply incredible. They took care of our bodies & our spirits. The entire crew was truly amazing. I was a novice kayaker, had never camped in my life & was medically complicated. I felt completely taken care of & able to simply enjoy the adventure. Thanks guys!!

Jenn Hutchinson (source: Google Reviews)

The sights, the sea, the friends, the food, the laughs, the guides, and the CAKES! Sherman, Jennifer, Damian, Tannia, Rodolfo, and Vicky were the absolute best. The knowledge and care they showed made our 5-day Loreto Bay kayak tour one of a kind.

Maysha Sperry (source: Google Reviews)

Our guides were awesome and always available. The food for the kayak portion was nothing short of amazing… cooked to perfection by our guides! Very bonding trip for our small group. The area is beautiful and full of life! THe guides were the difference … went above and beyond to entertain a small child that was part of our group, were constantly showing us things, and were there for us every step of the way. Primitive camping but it didn’t matter… food and alcohol was flowing almost constantly . Hard working, fun- loving folk! Highly recommend. Our guides were Mario and Damien for the kayak portion, and Mario and Terry ( former owner of the company filling in…awesome!) for the whale watching portion.

Quincy Shoff (source: Google Reviews)

Our guides Diego, Rafa, and Jennifer were phenomenal. This trip was so enjoyable, and it was so much fun talking to all of the guides about the biology of the place and all of the sea animals. This was my second time doing this trip with sea kayak adventures and both were lots of fun.
