BAJA
MEXICO ISLAND HOPING KAYAKING TOUR |
|
Trip Itinerary |
| Day
1: Pre-trip meeting, on
Saturday afternoon at Villas de Loreto. An information
meeting with packing instructions will take place prior
to a social time over dinner at a local
restaurant. |
| |
| Day 2: Our
Island Hopping itinerary begins with a 30 minute van
shuttle south to launch at Playa Juncalito. Once loaded
we will spend sometime introducing or refamiliarizing
people with the various kayak strokes and maneuvers.
Once comfortable we will follow the shore for a few
kilometers before making a 45 minute crossing to Isla
Danzante and find a camping spot at one of the many
coves. The remainder of the day will be spent enjoying
many options such as swimming, snorkeling, exploring the
shoreline by kayak or just relaxing on the beach. It
should not take you long to find the holiday you came
for. From the beach, foot paths provide access to the
higher ground where we can delight in the amazing
vistas. The lofty peaks are perches to turkey vultures
who can also be seen soaring to the heights. Down at the
waters edge, brown pelicans will entertain everyone with
their diving antics. When a school of fish are in the
area we are also sure to see the intriguing blue-footed
boobies who are determined not to be out done by their
fishing mates. |
| Day 3: This could find us
revisiting Day 2’s options or embarking on a course
around Danzante. The east side is rugged with cliffs and
caves. Colourful fish swim between massive blocks which
have fallen from the cliffs above. A popular agenda has
been to include a picnic lunch with snorkel gear. |
| Day 4-5: Rising early we will
enjoy a hot drink and a light breakfast before making a
short crossing to Isla Carmen. Another intriguing
island, Carmen will provide a base for similar
activities over the next few days. Numerous beaches with
excellent snorkeling await. A rewarding morning
excursion is a pre-dawn paddle out to Punta Baja to
watch the sun rise over the open Sea of Cortez. Sea
caves at another location are also a point of interest.
In addition, we may be fortunate enough to be
accompanied by a pod of surfacing bottle-nose dolphins.
These friendly mammals will delight us with their
graceful leaps and dives. Blue and Fin whales have also
been spotted in this region. |
| Day 6: With an early morning
start we will cross back to Isla Danzante and find a new
beach to call home for our last night of camping. This
will be your chance to spend some more time at what you
have enjoyed most over the week or perhaps polishing off
the lengthy novel you have been reading or just watching
the sun coast across the clear blue sky. Lying close to
the Tropic of Cancer our Baja sun sets about 6 pm. From
Isla Danzante, our panoramic view to the west offers
spectacular sunsets as the sun sinks behind the Sierra
de La Giganta. On a clear night the over head sky is
simply dazzling with stars. Undoubtedly our last night
will find us with our new friends observing the stars
and planets on a quiet beach. |
| Day
7: This will be our
last day on the water. Following breakfast we will leave
our island paradise and make the 45 minute crossing to
Puerto Escondido. From here we will take a shuttle back
to Loreto, where showers and the comforts of our hotel
rooms await. On our last evening together, at one of
Loreto’s finest Mexican restaurants, we will celebrate
the events of the week. |
Day
8: We can breakfast
together and then consider some souvenir shopping and a
tour of Loreto, including the magnificent Mission
Nuestra Senora de Loreto built in 1697. From here,
guests will depart at varying times depending on flight
schedules or other plans you may wish to include. We
would be pleased to assist if you wish to rent a vehicle
for inland explorations of beautiful Baja.
