Itinerary
| Day 1 | Fly to La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Evening on your own to explore La Paz and dine at one of its many fine restaurants. |
| Day 2 | Breakfast at hotel. Pick up rental gear and transfer by boat to the island of Espiritu Santo (approximately 2 hours). Lunch upon arrival at camp. During lunch we will give a camp orientation followed by sea kayak instruction and paddling. The sea kayak orientation includes a mandatory wet exit or "dunk test." So get ready to have some fun as we all take the plunge! It's a piece of cake! B/L/D |
| Days 3-6 | Kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, fishing and relaxing along the shores of the enchanted island of Espiritu Santo. Guided kayak excursions of 4-10 miles are offered daily along the west coast and to outlying islands. Camps are located in protected bays along the west side of Espiritu Santo Island. Other guided activities from camp include hiking into canyons draped with fig trees, fishing for sea bass or skiff excursions to nearby snorkeling "hot spots" including a sea lion rookery where we join these graceful creatures, swimming alongside them while enjoying their playful and curious nature first hand. B/L/D |
| Day 7 | After lunch we transfer back to La Paz by motorized boat, check into the hotel where you can enjoy a hot shower and have time to take a walk into downtown La Paz or an afternoon siesta before meeting for the farewell dinner that evening. B/L/D |
| Day 8 | Transfer from hotel to the La Paz airport (approximately 20 minutes) for departing flights. |
