Sea Kayak Vacations & Whale Adventures in Baja/BC

We operate sea kayaking and whale watching tours in Loreto, in Baja California, Mexico Oct-May and in northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada each June-Sept. We have picked our areas and times of year to maximize chances of seeing whales and to have the best weather. Novices welcome.
A) Baja - 1) sea kayaking and camping tours in Loreto Bay National Marine Park in Sea of Cortez, 2) gray whale viewing up close in Magdalena Bay National Marine Preserve and 3) combos of the above two (each Feb and March)
B) BC Canada - 1) sea kayaking and orca watching tours Johnstone Strait and 2) lodge-based sea kayak tours in God's Pocket Provincial Park

First day of tour, we begin by giving a kayaking and/or whale watching introduction, making sure everyone is comfortable before we set out. We kayak or whale watch for a leisurely 1 1/2 to 2 hours before pulling out at a scenic spot for a picnic lunch which our guides whip up from scratch. Then another 1 1/2 to 2 hours and we'll arrive at our camp by mid-afternoon so that folks can snorkel in Baja or hike and explore in BC. One guide will lead activities while the other two guides prepare happy hour snacks and a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, we'll stargaze, view bioluminescense, and laugh about the day's adventures, before falling asleep in the utter, peaceful quiet, dreaming about tomorrow's fun.
