BAJA WHALE CAMP AND SEA OF CORTEZ KAYAK/SNORKEL
A Desert to Sea Adventure Extraordinaire
January 28th-February 6th, 2012
Welcome to Our Adventure in Baja!
I am pleased to welcome you to a fantastic adventure exploring the wonders and wildlife of the Baja Peninsula Sur, from Desert to Sea!
In the early dawn of Blue Water Ventures, I led several trips through the rugged peninsula of Baja. One of the most profound experiences of my life occurred while eye to eye with a California Gray Whale in a remote breeding lagoon of Baja. I am very excited to share such experiences with you as we explore Baja's rich and varied wildlife together.
The 10 day itinerary will provide a detailed account of our travels starting and ending in La Paz. We plan to spend three nights/four days base camping at Espiritu Santos Island in the Sea of Cortez. Three nights/four days will be spent at our whale base camp in Magdalena Bay on Baja's Pacific Coast. Hotel accommodations are included on Day One, Day Five and Day Nine. All meals are provided throughout the itinerary.
For centuries, California Gray Whales have traveled 10,000 miles round trip between their summer feeding grounds in Alaska and their winter breeding/calving grounds in the Pacific lagoons of Baja. Traveling in small skiffs into Magdalena Bay, we will wait for the whales to approach us. Close encounters are a common occurrence and quite thrilling. Naturalist-led beach hikes and kayaking excursions through the mangroves of Magdalena Bay will also be offered. In the ruggedly beautiful Espiritu Santos Island in the Sea of Cortez we will kayak, snorkel, fish, hike and relax from our dramatically scenic beach camp. At both sites, we have the comfort and ease of boat supported base camps. All activities are optional. We typically cover 4-6 miles when kayaking in the Sea of Cortez.
