Join us in March 2026 as we head out kayaking for twelve days in the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez). We take care of all the planning needed to come and explore the ultimate Baja coastline. We pick you up at the airport, and arrange a shuttle into town from Loreto International Airport. The following day we head out on our twelve-day trip down the coast. Everything is included except your personal camping gear for the expedition, and a couple of personal in-town meals in Loreto.
Your group, along with OSKC guide Jeff Phaneuf, will meet up in Loreto Airport on March 13th. Jeff will accompany you into town and show you around. You will have the afternoon to acclimatize and sort your gear before our pre-trip briefing that evening. We depart the following morning!
This expedition is from Loreto to La Paz trip down the inside of the Baja peninsula. The whole shoreline is stunning and we will be paddling high-end fibreglass kayaks. The trip is around 200 kms so we paddle 20kms/day giving us time to paddle, snorkel, and explore the coast intimately.
We end the trip on Wednesday, 25th March. On march 26th we will drop you at the airport in Loreto for your flight home…or perhaps you’re going to rent a car and head out to explore some of the rest of Beautiful Baja. We have traveled to many other places in Baja so we are happy to help you with your plans if we decide to extend your holiday. We are also happy to help direct you to the most conveniently located accommodation providers right in the heart of Loreto.
