Ultimate Baja Escape
Bucket-list week! Inspiring scenery, wildlife galore, and guides who were as capable as they were fun. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fabulous Sea Kayak Trip
Still feeling the glow of a recent kayak trip to the islands and down the coast from Loreto. I used to guide trips there and felt this was a very smooth and wonderful adventure! Nadia and Stephanie were incredibly professional as well as being lovely charming warm relatable individuals.

Most Amazing Loreto Trip
This four day kayaking trip far exceeded expectations. Knowledgeable, friendly guide with great paddling skills took us to many pristine spots, made us feel totally safe, and even made us yummy meals. We camped on empty beaches, slept with the sunset and sunrise, and laughed.

Wild Baja Magic
A 10-day true wilderness experience… jumping rays, humpback whales, dolphins, and remarkable snorkeling before breakfast—every campsite felt like an untouched paradise.

Baja Family Bliss
We spent Christmas week paddling Baja as a family—lobsters, whales, manatees, dolphins and generous, delicious food every day.

Ceviche & Dolphins
Best ceviche I’ve ever had and dolphins swirling around our kayaks—an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Baja Adventure Vibes
Get your adventure on, but don’t worry—you’ll eat better on a remote beach than in town! Dolphins? ✔ Whales? ✔ Snorkeling in ‘Earth’s Aquarium’? ✔ I’m definitely going back.

Best Loreto Outfitter
Paddling South was one of the most memorable and exciting trips my students have ever been on! Jorge and Antonio are outstanding guides that really made the trip! Their local knowledge of geology, biology, culture, and conversational Spanish, plus their willingness to answer questions, created an enriching atmosphere for the entire course.
