Paddle through aquamarine waters, navigating narrow passages carved by the waves over millennia. Along the way, you’ll encounter vibrant marine life, from schools of fish darting beneath your kayak to curious sea lions watching from nearby rocks. This intimate experience is a perfect way to connect with Baja’s unspoiled beauty.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Isla Espiritu Santo is a pristine natural gem. Hike through its rugged terrain, where arid desert landscapes give way to sweeping ocean vistas.
