Highlights

    • Exceptional opportunities for viewing dolphins, sea lions and whales in the wild
    • High-flying frigate birds, blue-footed boobies and squadrons of pelicans are your companions as you kayak past manta rays and brightly colored fish
    • The warm, crystalline waters of the Sea of Cortez host a breathtaking array of tropical fish - perfect for snorkeling.
    • Each winter endangered blue whales more than five times as long as your sea kayak migrate to these waters looking for tasty crustaceans
    • Encountering the largest animal on earth is a thrilling experience. Fin, Humpback and Sei whales also frequent the area.

What's this trip about?

    The islands of the Sea of Cortez contain striking natural beauty in a dramatic setting formed by rugged islands with high cliffs and sandy beaches, which contrast with the brilliant reflection from the desert and the surrounding turquoise waters. The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers the perfect blend of Baja kayaking, hiking and snorkeling. Abundant wildlife, massive whales, sunny weather and warm, crystalline waters make the Sea of Cortez in Loreto Bay National Marine Park one of the best winter sea kayaking and whale watching destinations in North America.
