Quick Getaway: Kayaking Espiritu Santo Island

About the Trip

Kayaking and camping on Espiritu Santo Island allow us the opportunity to explore beautiful white sand beaches, canyons adorned with hanging fig trees, boulder up arroyos, and snorkel with friendly sea lions and tropical fish. Our flexible itinerary facilitates a variety of activities for a variety of interests from hiking to paddling to snorkeling and fishing. Motorized support skiffs provide a safe and luxurious sea kayaking excursion. Besides exploring the many hidden coves by kayak, other guided activities from our base camp include 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. And of course there's always the choice of relaxing on the beach, soaking with a good book in the warm Baja sun.
