Gray Whales of Magdalena Bay -

Gray Whale Calf breachingExperience one of the most incredible close-up wildlife encounters on the planet from our exclusive base camp situated on a secluded island beach at the very heart of whale activity in Magdalena Bay, one of the major calving lagoons for gray whales. See these magnificent, gentle giants at the height of their calving season from the safety of motor skiffs on our three-day itineraries in Febraury and March. Combine any whale camp itinerary with one of our Sea of Cortez Combo kayak trips for the ultimate Baja vacation. Our 10-day combos are selling out in February, so call soon for reservations.

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.

Canada Tour News -

Kayaks in narrow passageWe've just completed our 15th season of kayaking in British Columbia. The 2011 tour schedule is already posted on our web site including our lodge-based kayak trips at God's Pocket Resort and our ever popular Johnstone Strait expeditions. New for 2011 we are offering Johnstone Strait 4-day base camp tours and a Broughton Islands expedition.

In September, we followed up on our commitment to sustainable tourism by donating 50 percent of our t-shirt sales from our British Columbia kayak tours to Save Our Salmon and Adopt-a-Fry. A big thanks to our guests who purchased t-shirts and help make a positive difference in the areas we travel.
