Island Highlights

We have added a few extra days on the islands to some of our Paddling trips. On our new Island Highlights trips we want to take more time to tour the beaches of Isla Danzante and Isla del Carmen, two rugged and beautiful islands offshore from Loreto.

Itinerary:

Day 1 - Arrival. For personal service we greet you at the airport and arrange transfers to your waterfront hotel in Loreto. Then, join a group orientation meeting with Paddling South's owner, Trudi Angell, or one of the trip leaders. We'll answer questions and discuss the next day's plan to help you get ready for a great adventure. This evening there's time to explore the quaint cobbled streets of Loreto, and we'll offer some local restaurant recommendations. Ground transfers, route and town maps, a Bienvenidos! drink and hotel are included.

Days 2-6 - Enjoy a week of discovery, natural history, and special tours on the islands. See the general information about our paddling trips mentioned in the Coast and Island tour itinerary.

Day 7 - Our final night(s) are spent camping on a coastal beach near road access in order to avoid being winded in on an island beach. Because we travel without boat support on our tours (quiet and ecologically sound) we prefer to take the extra precaution of access to the coastline at tour end… and we still have the great desert-island experience that our Bay of Loreto Marine Park offers.

At trip end we return to Loreto for a taco lunch and hot showers at the hotel, while in the afternoon there's still time to do some last-minute shopping before our farewell dinner at a favorite restaurant. Dinner is hosted by Paddling South and the hotel night is included.

Day 8 - Breakfast is on your own this morning. For early departures the hotel restaurant can accommodate your schedule, or head downtown to Café Olé for a leisurely brunch at the locals' favorite. Your guides will pre-arrange an airport taxi for departures today or help you with transportation info. Paradise lost... but come back soon for another great adventure on sea or sierra and discover more of the treasures of Baja.

(if the trip is listed as longer, we will add a day on the islands or coast depending on weather conditions)

In October and May warm weather and low wind probabilities encourage great snorkeling and camping. In early December and January see the extra low rates coinciding with mid-week travel.

Join a Sea Turtle Monitoring expedition on some of our tours. Look for upcoming information on our web page, or sign up for an occasional (3-4 x per year) Email Notice.
