8 Days


Trip Details

The other part of your trip is spent kayaking and camping on Espiritu Santo Island where you can 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.

SAMPLE ITINERARY BEFORE KAYAKING: One of the advantages of a sea kayaking trip is the flexibility of the daily itinerary. It can vary widely from one trip to the next based on group desires and Mother Nature.

DAY 2: You will be taken from La Paz or Cabo to Huerta los Mangos. Overnight Huerta los Mangos camp.
