Mothership Tours - All Types

Baja Mothership Kayaking (Mexico)
Skill Level: Beg. - Int. Departs: Apr, Cost: $2345/person Length: 6 Days	To celebrate our 25th season, we will return to the Baja peninsula and the rich waters of the Sea of Cortez (or Gulf of California) this spring. As our company has matured, so have many of our guests. So rather than a camping and kayaking adventure, we will reenter the Baja adventure travel landscape aboard a beautiful yacht. Each day you will choose between kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, beach combing and just relaxing on board. Anticipate encounters with whales, dolphins, sea lions, manta rays, seabirds, and an amazing diversity of undersea life. Explore rocky shorelines, white sandy beaches, fossil beds, volcanic outcrops, coral reefs and cactus forests, just to name a few of the environments. We will travel the sea from island to island, discovering turquoise water coves, passing desert shorelines and, if you wish, exploring the underwater realm via snorkel and fins. The 90-foot ‘Fiesta’ is a Mexican family-owned and operated yacht that has been a floating base for non-profit, educational adventures for many years.
