Itinerary
Fly direct to La Paz (LAP) or to San Jose del Cabo (SJD) and transfer north three hours to La Paz by bus, shuttle or taxi. Overnight in La Paz at the Seven Crowns Hotel and meet in the evening for an orientation with your Sea Kayak Adventures tour leader. We hand out ...
We meet in the morning and head out in our van for a day of fun and exploration. We stop by an artisanal factory where adobe bricks are made. We continue north, traveling through a fascinating landscape of huge cacti and rugged mountains. Our guides, all bilingual Mex...
We rise early, have a hearty breakfast and start our paddle from the mainland to the island. Our crossing takes from two to two and a half hours and our timing is important as winds sometimes pick up later in the morning. For added security we have a panga (motor skif...
Warm rays from the rising sun awake you from your slumber. If that doesn't do it your guides wake you gently. We have breakfast on the beach, then pack up your stuff while your guides pack up the kitchen and camp. Then off we go into the inviting Sea of Cortez, one of...
Depending on weather, the group's interests and available hiking possibilities, we may have a layover day. Often people welcome the break from kayaking and the chance to give arms and shoulders a respite from working out.

Another day of adventure and relaxation. We paddle along the coast, adorned with cliffs and arches. Secluded coves where you look into transparent waters to fish below. By now you are as one with this place. Life at home seems far away. We land and explore, on foot or with fins. Another scrumptious lunch. Another wonder-filled afternoon. A festive last night camp.
We rise early to make our crossing from the island to the mainland. On arrival we have an early lunch with our village friends, then load up into our van for the drive back to La Paz. Once at the hotel a warm shower feels great and, refreshed, we meet for a lively farewell dinner at a local restaurant and regale each other with tales of the trip.
Our kayak adventure is done and we highly recommend you join our half day tour Swimming with Whale Sharks which includes another night at the hotel. Alternatively, you may start your travel home.

This was the trip of a lifetime. I had high expectations for what this 8 day adventure would be, and every single moment of the trip exceeded what I had hoped for.
The days in La Paz were fun and seeing the whale sharks was incredible. The 6 days of kayaking and camping around Isla San Jose was out of this world. Beautiful cam...
