We suggest bringing a kayak seat pad and small dry bag to keep personal items such as a camera and dry clothes from getting wet when kayaking and riding in the skiffs. We also recommend paddling gloves, especially on the longer kayaking trips.

For December through mid-March trips only - Synthetic fabrics (ie. polar fleece & capilene) not cotton are best for keeping warm in wet environments.

Optional items: Although we provide plenty of food and some snacks if you have a high metabolism you may want to bring along a few of your own favorite snacks, camera with plenty of film, binoculars, paddling gloves, pocket knife, insect repellent, pillow and a good book!

Please pack your gear in a duffel of soft luggage as it will be carried in the motorized skiffs.

RENTAL GEAR

NOTE: All extra cost, gear rentals, and single supplements must be pre-arranged prior to your departure, however, all rentals must be paid in Mexico in cash or traveler checks only. SINCE THE BAJA COAST TRIP STARTS IN LORETO, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU GIVE US YOUR SIZE ON YOUR TRIP APPLICATION FORM. THIS WAY WE CAN OUTFIT YOU CORRECTLY FOR LIFE JACKETS, WET SUITS AND SNORKEL EQUIPMENT WHICH WILL BE BROUGHT UP FROM LA PAZ. Single supplements and extra hotel costs will be added to your Holiday statement and must be pre-paid 60-days in advance. Please reserve early as we have a limited supply of rental gear and cannot guarantee availability at the last minute.
