BOA ~ Co-operatively Catering Expeditions or Fully Catered, Motor Skiff assisted Trips!?

After considering all the feedback from past and present clients two very different styles of sea kayaking trips have evolved: Co-operatively Catering expeditions and Fully Catered, Motor Skiff supported trips. Although the itinerary is more-or-less the same they are very different expeditions and deserve careful consideration. One style is sure to suit you more than the other, so before making a reservation please take a look at the definitions below and decide which really suits you more. We shy away from permanent beach camps prefering to explore a new area each day. There is so much to see and it is therefore more interesting to have a trip that progresses each day - around each corner there is a unique and beautiful bay waiting to be explored

Co-operatively Catering Expeditions:

All the gear, food and water is carried in our sea-kayaks from one camp site to the next. We have no motor boat support so it is therefore a group task with the support of your guides, to pack and carry everything. Naturally, the rewards lie in the tremendous feeling of self-sufficiency, a bonding team spirit and a marvelous sense of accomplishment. Many would agree that this is the ‘only’ way to do a sea-kayaking expedition.

On our 7 day trip we make a re-supply midweek. So effectively the most we ever carry in our kayaks is 3 days supply of food and water. At the time of re-supply the motor boat takes away our accumulated trash.

Fully Catered, Motor Skiff Assisted Trips:

The boat driver and guides will take care of providing you with 3 delicious meals a day and all the cleaning up. A huge bonus is being able to take coolers so that we can offer you ice cold beverages throughout the trip. If the focus of your vacation is not always to kayak you can hitch a ride on the boat with your kayak in tow so you have more time to snorkel, to practice your spanish or quite simply - to take it easy!!
