Loreto to La Paz Sea Kayak Expedition
Encompassing 65 miles of
road-less coastline and offshore islands between Loreto and La Paz on the
peninsula's eastern coast, this is Baja's classic sea kayak expedition. This
coastline is one of the most remote and sparsely populated areas in all of
Baja. There are no villages or towns, and the only access to the occasional
fish camp is by sea.
The Sierra Giganta Range
plunges into the Sea of Cortez, effectively isolating the area from the rest of
the peninsula and creating a stunningly beautiful backdrop the entire trip.
We'll make camps on beaches that dot the base of these magnificent mountains.
Canyon hikes take us into the desert interior, while kayaking allows an
intimate exploration of the many coves and sea caves.
 The clear waters of the Sea of Cortez teem with
colorful life, and the snorkeling around the shallow reefs and vertical ledges
is excellent. We see pods of dolphins, as well as massive whales. You'll paddle
past towering volcanic peaks, miles of unexplored beaches and forests of giant
cardon cactus. Prehistoric-looking frigate birds circle high above while
squadrons of pelicans glide across the glassy water.
The expedition begins
with your arrival in Loreto and after an adventurous 10 days of paddling you'll
arrive at the take-out site near La Paz. We also offer La Paz to Loreto
itineraries.
"Loreto to La Paz was
such an awesome trip...the best kayak trip I have ever been on."
