Johnstone Strait -
4 or 6 days, July to September An
incredible environment for sea kayaking with killer whales, Johnstone Strait in
British Columbia's Inside Passage is a sheltered, glacier-carved waterway
between the northeast coast of Vancouver Island and the snow-capped mountains
of mainland British Columbia.
Johnstone
Strait is home to Robson Bight, the world's only orca preserve, making it
the best place to kayak with orcas in North America.
God's Pocket Resort
-
6 days, July to
August Our popular lodge-based kayak tours in
God’s
Pocket Provincial Park in Queen Charlotte Strait are designed for those who
wish to experience sea kayaking without having to camp. Each day you'll paddle
stable kayaks through the waterways and islands of God’s Pocket Provincial
Park, looking out for whales, porpoises and eagles. And each evening, you'll
return to the lodge for hot showers and delicious dinners.
Wilderness Islands
-
6 days, August 9-14 Imagine a
holiday in the
Canadian
wilderness offering six days of secluded kayaking away from other people,
scenic campsites and incredible wildlife encounters. See humpback whales, seals
and porpoises. Your adventure includes a water taxi ride at both ends so you
can go to places far from civilization.

Alaska
Mothership tour by July 5 to receive $1000 of the trip price, space is

Strait kayaking trip, August 16-19, for $1095.
We started out in
1993 as an adventure travel company sharing our love of adventure and nature
with our guests. Over the past 17 years we have evolved into a sustainable eco
tour company promoting responsible travel and protecting the environment by
hiring and developing local guides well versed in natural history and vital
conservation issues, providing funds for local conservation projects, and
helping our travelers make a positive difference. To this end, we are offering
a
Sea
Turtle Monitoring and Kayaking Expedition for you to participate in
hands-on research of green sea turtles with members of the Grupo
Tortuguero.
If you are thinking about joining us in 2011 for a Baja tour - we
strongly encourage you to book now! Flights to Loreto on Alaska Airlines
are limited and filling fast already, especially for departure dates in
December, February and March. By last October, most flights were already sold
out and sadly many people could not get to Loreto. Don't wait much longer to
make your winter/spring vacation plans because you will not be able to get to
Loreto. Call us for travel advice at 1-800-616-1943.
Is it safe to travel to Mexico? -
In view of headlines about violence along the
U.S. border, many people are wondering about the safety of visiting Mexico.
Keep in mind that Mexico is a big and diverse country, so violence along the
U.S. border towns won't have any effect on your vacation in Loreto any more
than violence in Miami would affect people in Chicago. Most of the violence
that has taken place recently is due to conflicts between drug cartels and the
Mexican authorities. As a tourist in southern Baja, 700 miles south of the
border, you can have a tranquil, relaxing vacation so long as you use the
normal precautions you would in any other vacation spot. Hundreds of Americans
and Canadians who visited Loreto this past winter and spring were enjoying
their vacations with no hassles or problems.
Special Baja Offer -
Book a 2011 Baja
kayak or whale watching trip by July 15, 2010 to receive FREE wetsuit and
snorkel gear rentals ($40 value).
Explorer Tours -

Whales

Argentine
Patagonia. The Peninsula Valdes, a spit of the Patagonian steppe that juts

World Heritage Site teeming with endemic wildlife. The lagoons here are the
calving ground for the Southern Right Whale.

Adventure trip is the first of its kind offered in this tropical
archipelago, allowing you to see the wonderful wildlife of these islands "up
