17th Anniversary

It’s our 17th season of running sea kayak tours and offering you the best in international wilderness kayaking adventures as well as exciting new trips. To celebrate our anniversary, we are donating $1000 USD to local conservation groups in Baja this month.
Here’s what we are offering for 2010:

Summer British Columbia Trips -

Whale Money Shot! Our Classic Trip:
Johnstone Strait is internationally recognized as the best location in the world to see orcas in the wild. The rugged beauty of its hundreds of islands, lush rainforest, profusion of marine life, ancient sites of native culture, creates a magical Canadian sea kayak experience reminiscent of an earlier time. Days will be spent paddling this beautiful coastline and sharing the waters with these impressive orca whales. Nights will be spent camping on island beaches surrounded by luxuriant forests and the sound of orcas breathing.

Van sitting on beach Our Guides Favorite Trip:
Outside Magazine featured our Wilderness Islands trip as one of the best trips of a lifetime. Participants paddle kayaks for six days among the sheltered bays and islands of Queen Charlotte Strait, a wild archipelago full of humpbacks and bald eagles, with B.C.'s snowcapped mountains in the distance. After dodging the whale flukes, seals, and curious porpoises, they'll set up camps on the pebbly, driftwood-strewn beaches of secluded islands like Bell, Hurst, and Nigei.

Most comfortable trip at happy hour Our Most Comfortable Trip:
Adventurers who prefer to sleep in a lodge instead of in a tent can join one of our six-day kayak trips at God's Pocket Resort. The lodge is on a remote island in the heart of God's Pocket Provincial Park near northern Vancouver Island. Each day, guests paddle kayaks through the park's waterways and islands, looking out for whales, porpoises and eagles. And each evening, they'll return to the lodge for hot showers and delicious dinners.

Fall Baja Trips -
We always encourage Fall Baja bookings for a number of reasons. The months of October & November offer great kayaking and camping in Loreto Bay National Marine Park because the weather is great with air temperatures warm enough to sleep out under the stars and calm days with no wind, but other boaters and tourist have not arrived. What’s more, the water temperatures are at their peak; you won't need a wet suit to go snorkeling and there are hundreds of colorful reef fish to observe close to shore. Dolphins cruise close to shore as well, and you'll probably see pods of up to 100 individuals putting on an aerial display. This is our quietest, most peaceful time of the season on the water and the kayaking is superb. These Sea of Cortez Quick Adventure trips are motorboat-supported so you can paddle a light kayak and have a cold drink at the end of the day.
Loreto to La Paz Expedition November 2-13, 2010 -

A challenging ten-day sea kayak expedition along a rugged roadless coastline between Loreto and La Paz. Great for the adventurous paddler desiring to experience a remote area few people see.

Yoga and Kayaking in Baja -
SKA is offering several Yoga and Kayaks tours in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico that combine daily yoga with a little adventure, suitable for novices. Dates: Nov 4-9 and Nov 9-14, 2010.
2011 Baja Schedule -
Looking farther ahead, our 2011 Baja kayaking and whale watching trip schedule is online now. We have reserved a block of 10 Horizon Air seats exclusively for our clients traveling between Los Angeles and Loreto on the following dates: Dec 26-Jan 2, 2011 and Feb 20-27 President's Day. Last season, flights to Loreto were selling out by October. Early Bird Discount: Book a 2011 Baja kayak or whale watching trip by July 1, 2010 to receive free snorkeling gear rental ($40 value).

Best Values in Adventure Travel -
We feel strongly that all SKA trips offer our guests great value, and when it comes to getting the best bang for your buck, it’s hard to go wrong with a high guide/guest ratio, superb service, and all camping gear provided. Neoprene booties are included on our Canada trips for keeping your feet warm. In Baja, we have snorkeling gear available. You'll save time and money preparing for your trip and can travel without check-in luggage. We hope you make 2010 the year you rediscover for yourself, or experience for the first time, the unforgettable value of a SKA vacation.
