Itinerary
| Day 1 | Leave the U.S.A. and fly to Loreto, B.C.S., Mexico. Transfer to the hotel in Loreto, afternoon on your own to explore this tranquil seaside town, overnight hotel. |
| Day 2 | After breakfast at the hotel, transfer by van to Puerto Escondido (1/2 hour) and take a one hour boat ride to our put in site at Aqua Verde. Depending upon the weather we either do our kayak orientation here on the beach then paddle to our first camp at Ballenita cove after lunch (about 8 miles 2-3 hours). Weather not permitting, we take the skiffs to our first camp and do our kayak orientation there and go for an evening paddle to explore the caves of Ballenita cove. B/L/D |
| Days 3-7 | Kayaking south along the Baja peninsula coastline from 8 to 20 miles per day. Overnight at camps on isolated beaches along the way at locations such as Puerto Gato, Punta Cobre, Punta Colorada, and Isla San Jose. Taking a break from paddling we'll hike up canyons, go snorkeling to explore the fascinating underwater world of the Sea of Cortez or jump in the skiff for an occasional evening of fishing. Of course, there's always the option of relaxing at camp with a good book on the enchanted Baja coast. Breaks at Tembabichi, Los Dolores and/or Punta Alta 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 |
| Day 8 | Depart our last camp on Isla San Jose and transfer by boat and van to La Paz (approximately 4 hours) with lunch en route. Check into the hotel with the afternoon free to shower and take a walk into downtown La Paz before meeting for our farewell dinner that evening. B/L/D |
