BAJA OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES - WHAT TO BRING

We recommend you pack the following list of items; please note that if you are on a:

... COOPERATIVE CATERED TRIP:- All the expedition gear is stored in our kayak hatches so your personal belongings should not exceed the capacity of one medium dry bags (9"dia x 30" approx). Your tent, sleeping bag, Therma rest and snorkel gear can be packed separately. These items can all be loaded directly into your kayak in their respective bags. If your sleeping bag is in a stuff bag it's a good idea to line it with a trash bag.

... FULLY CATERED TRIP:- Your belongings will be carried in the motor boat so you can pack everything into one or two duffel bags. You DO NOT NEED to pack your personal gear in a dry bag.
