A ruggedly beautiful peninsula extending south from modern day California for over 800
miles. The topography varies from 6000 foot mountains in the east which tumble down to
the Sea of Cortez forming isolated coves to the low lying west coast with expansive sandy
beaches, pounding Pacific surf and protected lagoons. For millennia Grey whales have
come to these west coast lagoons to mate, give birth and nurse their young before migrating
north to the Bering Sea.
While our holidays on the Baja Peninsula are geared towards sea kayaking with whales, there is
ample time to relax on the beautiful beaches. Other highlights of the holiday include:
paddling through picturesque shallow lagoons, mangrove estuaries filled with abundant bird
life, viewing and photographing the gentle Grey Whale, while camping on sand dunes under the
stars.
