Best of Baja

Best of Baja - Baja sea kayaking and whale watching combo
Why this trip: Itinerary combines both coasts of Baja California, guaranteed whale sightings, snorkeling and kayaking in two of Mexico’s newest national parks -  novices welcome.

LORETO, BAJA CALIFORNIA  -- USA-based Sea Kayak Adventures, Inc. is offering an exciting trip package where participants can be eyeball-to-eyeball with a gray whale in Baja’s federally protected calving lagoons and paddle a kayak alongside dolphins and fin and blue whales in the clear waters of the Sea of Cortez.  Their eight-day “Baja Sea Kayaking and Whale Watching Combo” itinerary, including travel days and hotel in Loreto, offers opportunities to get close to friendly whales, explore uninhabited desert islands by stable sea kayak and snorkel along isolated coves in clear turquoise waters – in essence to see the best of Baja, led by naturalist guides. 

Clients fly from Los Angeles to Loreto.  From there they cross the Baja California peninsula to the Pacific coast into Magdalena Bay for the day to watch gray whales and their newly born calves at close range from the safety of motorized skiffs.  Then back over to Loreto for five-days of sea kayaking and camping in Mexico’s newest national park - Parque Nacional Bahia de Loreto – which serves as sanctuary for blue-footed boobies, fin and blue whales, dolphins and sea lions.  UNESCO has declared the unique Sea of Cortez Islands a World Heritage Site.  No prior kayaking experience is necessary – just good health and an eagerness for new experiences.

Weekly departures are scheduled from January 27 through March 22, 2009.  The price of $1330 US dollars per person (double occupancy) includes three hotel nights in Loreto; all meals; all camping, sleeping & kayaking equipment; airport transfer and ground transportation, instruction & guides.  The company includes more guides and amenities in the tour price than any other Loreto outfitter. Not included: air fare from Los Angeles, gratuities, meals in town, $15 park fee.
