If you prefer a sea kayaking trip in the Gulf of California that is less touristy, and in which you can hone your kayaking skills in warm water, I strongly recommend Sea Kayak Baja Mexico. In December 2017, my wife and I went with two other couples on the 5 day Loreto Primer Trip. The experience level varied from having lots of sea kayak expeditions and instruction to newbies. Our guides, Marcos and Tuku, organized a trip that kept everyone happy - great paddling, great food, wildlife viewing and snorkeling. Not only that, Marcos and Tuku are BCU-trained and were happy to provide instruction in strokes, self-rescue, bracing and rolling after setting up camp in the afternoon. A siesta was also an alternative after a morning paddle to a new beach.
The professionalism of Sea Kayak Baja Mexico was always evident. The kayak is top-flight featuring TideRace, NDK and Romany kayaks. Tandem kayaks were also available. Marcos and Tuku were well-trained in risk-management. This was particularly clear on the first day when inexperienced members of our group were safely guided onto a beach with a modest surf.
I hope to return to Loreto - there is much more exploring to do with Sea Kayak Baja Mexico. read more
