Imagine sea kayaking in Loreto
Bay on the Sea of Cortez, paddling along a
spectacular section of coastline and exploring
desert islands which pierce the tranquil waters. The
towering volcanic escarpments of the Sierra Giganta
Mountains rising out of the sea create your
backdrop. On a Baja kayak tour in the new Bahia de
Loreto National Marine Park in Loreto Bay, you'll
experience red-hued desert colors set against azure
blue water. Magical land formations give this area
great aesthetic and photographic appeal, from Loreto
and the islands of Danzante and Carmen, to our
expeditions from Loreto to La Paz. These waters
offer exceptional opportunities for viewing
dolphins, sea lions and blue and fin whales in the
wild. High-flying frigate birds, blue-footed boobies
and squadrons of pelicans are your companions as you
kayak past manta rays and brightly colored fish on
any of our Sea of Cortez sea kayaking expeditions.
Huge cacti thrive in this captivating landscape of
white sand beaches, dramatic cliffs and hidden
coves. Nature hikes take us up scenic canyons and
headlands offering unforgettable panoramas of wild
coastline and scattered islands. Kayaks are the best
way to explore the volcanic shoreline, its sea caves
and reefs. The warm, crystalline waters of the Sea
of Cortez host a breathtaking array of tropical fish
- perfect for snorkeling.
