Trip Itinerary
Day 1: Paddling the Sea of Cortez Arrive at the airport in Loreto, Baja, Mexico. Northwest Voyageurs will meet you at the airport and you will travel by taxi van to a hotel in Loreto. An orientation meeting and welcome dinner helps to familiarize guests with the upcoming adventure and offers an opportunity to meet each other and the guides. (D)
Days 2-6: Early in the morning, transfer by van to a protected beach where the kayaking journey begins. Enjoy a beach breakfast buffet, and then spend some time discussing safety issues, proper paddling technique and methods to pack your equipment in the sea kayaks. Northwest Voyageurs uses high-quality fiberglass sit-in sea kayaks and have both single and double kayaks available for guest use. Once everyone has finished packing the kayaks, gently glide into the Sea of Cortez to begin the journey.
Each day, travel two to four hours by sea kayak between camps. Daily paddling schedules involve early morning departures (sometimes the group begins paddling by sunrise) to avoid traveling in possible choppy conditions later in the day. During the entire journey, one or two layover days are planned, in which you do not move camps and spend a day hiking and exploring the local desert and the mysteries of the tide pools. Guides are experts in desert flora and fauna, and in the uses of various plants and trees by the indigenous peoples of Baja. Conditions permitting, guests often embark on island crossings to Isla Danzante and Isla Carmen. Each evening, enjoy delicious local cuisine in spectacular surroundings. Five nights on the water are spent camping on the beach under thousands of brilliant stars. (B/L/D)
Day 7: By now you have traveled along the coastline some 30-40 miles. Late in the morning, meet the vans and drive back to Loreto, arriving by mid-day. Guests have some time for an afternoon of town life and shopping. In the evening, you're off to a local restaurant for a farewell dinner. Stay at hotel in Loreto. (B/L/D)
