Day 3-7
Kayaking excursions from approximately 8-16 miles per day are combined with skiff rides as we move south along the Baja Peninsula Coastline then camp on San Jose and Espiritu Santo Islands by the end of the week. Camps are on isolated beaches along the way at locations such as Ballenita Cove, Puerto Gato, Islas San Jose and Espiritu Santo (where we snorkel with friendly sea lions). Taking a break from paddling and depending on the season we’ll hike up canyons, go snorkeling to explore the fascinating underwater world of the Sea of Cortez or jump in a skiff for an occasional morning of fishing. Of course, there’s always the option of relaxing at camp with a good book. Breaks at Tembabichi, Los Burros, Punta Alta or El Pardito give us a chance to visit the friendly Mexican families living on the coast and interpret the rich history of the area from stories passed on from their ancestors who have pearled, farmed, ranched and fished this coast since the 1800s. B/L/D
