In the National Marine Park of Loreto
Sea of Cortez

Expedition in a single kayak as a contributing member of your group!

Route includes crossings of up to 4 miles, paddling days up to 12 miles, and layover days for custom coaching and exploring Danante Island, Carmen Island, and the Sierra la Giganta coast.
For paddlers with foundational boating skills and little to moderate expedition experience,
Expedition Primer builds skill and well-founded confidence through development of paddling technique, seamanship, and groupmanship.
