Whale Tales

"I first kayaked Johnstone Strait, on the north coast of Vancouver Island, BC, in 1994. In 2008 and recently in August, 2019, my wife and I paddled there with Sea Kayak Adventures. I’m shocked at the changes. One thing hasn’t changed, though: Johnstone Strait is the best place in the world to see orca (killer whales)." - Gary Luhm

This Family Whale Watching Trip to Baja Was Life Changing, In All The Best Ways

"Sometimes, when traveling, you wake up in the middle of the night and aren’t sure where you are. When you wake up  to the splashes and explosive exhalation of massive gray whales cavorting in the shimmering moonlight, a few meters from your tent,  you aren’t sure you are awake."

Magdalena Mexico Whale Watching From a Baja Island Camp

"Waking up to see gray whales swimming by is magical enough, but watching mamas and babies cavort just a few feet away on the water is an experience unique to the Baja Peninsula." - Tim Leffel

Coeur d’Alene-based company continues to take travelers to Cuba despite Trump’s newest ‘crackdown’

"PLAYA LARGA, CUBA – The 2020 U.S. presidential elections seem impossibly remote as nine Americans weave their kayaks through a thick red mangrove forest on Cuba’s southern coast.

They navigate the tight pathways made by these saline-loving trees, admiring long-legged flamingos and pelicans, alongside the nearly 300 other bird species found in this area.

The Americans are here with ROW Adventures, a Coeur d’ Alene-based outdoor adventure company, on a seven-day kayaking trip. It’s a trip that weaves culture, music, art, history, politics and, yes, kayaking into one itinerary." - Spokesman Review

Sea-kayaking through the Sea of Cortez in Baja, Mexico

"If it wasn’t a school of manta rays jumping, it was a sea lion popping up to say hello, or perhaps the impressive rock formations, that provided a reason to slow our stroke and breathe in our surroundings. Sea kayaking in Mexico under the clear blue skies and in the crystal clear waters of the Sea of Cortez is an incredible escape. Looking to try my Devon-honed kayaking skills in a new landscape, I went on the Isla Espiritu Santo kayak and yoga trip with Sea Kayak Adventures in April."

Yoga-Infused All-Inclusive Vacations That Add Relaxation to Adventure

"Start your day with a serene yoga class on a sandy beach before kayaking and snorkeling around Isla Espiritu Santo, off the coast of La Paz in Baja, where sea lions and plankton-eating whale sharks play. End the day with a restorative yoga class to soothe the muscles and mind before waking up the next morning refreshed and ready to do it all again."

Cuba on the Cusp of Change

"I was in Cuba for ROW Adventure’s seven-day people-to-people kayaking trip, one of the first trips of its kind since President Obama re-established diplomatic relations with Cuba last year....On our first day, we paddled for a couple of hours around the shallow bay in the late afternoon. There was nobody else on the water. Not a boat or kayak other than our own, just the birds and the wind."

Los Angeles Times

"Cuba Unbound has something new to offer travelers heading to Cuba: kayaking and walking tours on the wild, east end of the island. People-to-people trips start in November for an experience that organizers describe as a “little more raw” than the usual island-nation visit."
