Imagine paddling and camping on the uninhabited island jewels of the Sea of Cortez's newest national marine park - Loreto Bay (Bahia de Loreto National Marine Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site). We have one of the few permits to operate sea kayak tours there. The towering volcanic escarpments of the Sierra Giganta Mountains rising out of the sea create your backdrop. Red-hued desert colors, azure blue water and magical landforms give this area great aesthetic and photographic appeal. Paddling a sea kayak in these waters offers exceptional opportunities for viewing dolphins, sea lions, fin and blue whales in their natural habitat. Blue-footed boobies, high-flying frigatebirds, osprey, and squadrons of pelicans soar above on the lookout for fish. The clear, warm water is alive with brightly colored fish - perfect for snorkeling. Hiking to hilltop viewpoints, night paddling to see bioluminescence and brilliant starry skies are other activities you’ll enjoy. NEW - Sea of Cortez combo itineraries with Magdalena Bay gray whale watching also available Feb & March. Also Loreto to La Paz and Carmen Island 10-day expeditions. Since 1993. |
