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.

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.

Starlit Coastal Bliss
Baja’s sea, stars and remote beaches were breathtaking, and our guides were knowledgeable, flexible and amazing cooks.

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.

Luxury Wilderness Escape
Trip of a lifetime. Finishing a paddle to find camp chairs set up and coolers stocked felt downright luxurious. I highly recommend Paddling South!

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.

Supportive Wilderness Journey
I was a novice kayaker and a bit nervous, but the team was super supportive and made the trip doable for everyone. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

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

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.

Perfect Wild Escape
This trip was perfect in every way: expert local guides, made-from-scratch meals, and A-plus encounters with humpback & gray whales.

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.
