Our 4 day expeditions are an excellent introduction to sea-kayaking and enable folks with a limited amount of vacation time, to still get out and enjoy the Gulf of California’s most beautiful island. During these trips we paddle for about 3 hours a day discovering a new beach to set up camp. This leaves plenty of time free to hike into the interior of the island exploring canyons with amazing rock formations and fascinating plant life. We also have time to snorkel each day and marvel at one of the world’s most diverse ‘natural aquariums.’

A typical itinerary:

  • Day 1: Transfer from your hotel in La Paz to Espiritu Santo Island in BOA’s high speed motor boat. Guides discuss points on safety and provide beginners with the basics of sea kayaking and correct use of gear and kayaks. In the afternoon we embark on our first paddle beneath spectacular volcanic cliffs and arrive at the first of many beautiful beaches to set up camp.
  • Day 2: Continue in our kayaks exploring a new section of coastline with small off shore islands where numerous sea birds nest. Camp on a new beach.
  • Day 3: Complete our voyage to the end of the island. Final night camping on the island.
  • Day 4: Fast motor boat ride to a beautiful off shore island which is home to a large sea lion colony. Experience the amazing thrill of swimming with sea lion pups and snorkel amongst thousands of tropical fish. Lunch back at camp and then pack up to return to La Paz by mid afternoon.

Note: This itinerary is likely to be reversed when joining a trip that starts on a Wednesday. It is also probable that we will paddle down the east side of the Island.
