This expedition explores some of Baja's finest coastal scenery between La Paz and Loreto in Baja California Sur. For 10 days we are overlooked by an enormous and spectacular mountain range, the Sierra de la Giganta; in many places as sheer cliffs hundreds of feet high, it plunges directly into the Gulf. Rust red volcanic rock formations provide intricate caves and arches to explore and canyon lands that beckon the intrepid. The beaches are extraordinarily beautiful with fine soft white sand and many have canyons behind which we can explore on foot.

This area has a very low amount of seafaring traffic but an amazing amount of marine activity. We can expect daily dolphin sightings, perhaps whales and pristine snorkeling areas. We nearly always indulge in fresh fish and lobster so feel free to bring your own fishing line and help catch dinner! There is a mid-expedition re-supply to replenish water and food supplies and to remove accumulated trash. Effectively 4.5 days of supplies is the most we carry in our kayaks.
