Baja Quick Adventures!  2009-2010 we are offering a series of 3-4 day (not counting travel days) Whale Watching Camp and Sea of Cortez adventures out of Loreto for people who have limited vacation time.

Mexico's sunny Baja California peninsula offers the perfect winter destination for warm water kayaking, camping and whale watching. Our Sea of Cortez kayak tours out of Loreto feature encounters with blue & fin whales in the wild and secluded camping on remote desert islands. And both our Gray Whale tours and Sea of Cortez/Gray Whale Combo tours offer guaranteed whale sightings in the gray whale nursery lagoon of Magdalena Bay. We are licensed to operate in Bahia de Loreto (Loreto Bay) National Marine Park and Magdalena Bay, both of which enjoy federally designated park status in Mexico.

Kayaking Magdalena Bay

"Kayaking with you in Sea of Cortez was the best way to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary" --Les Kemp

"Despite having been on your God's Pocket lodge tour a year before and loving it, our latest God's Pocket trip with our family members exceeded our already high expectations. Lodge owners Bill and Annie have mastered the technique of making guests feel truly like family, and our family loved it as much as we do. Spectacular scenery, varied wildlife sightings, comfortable lodge, wonderful hosts and phenomenal guides (the best we've ever travelled with!) combined to provide one of the best vacations we have ever experienced. Thank you so much."

-- John & Holly Polacek, God's Pocket lodge-based tour BC

How did you arrange for orcas to greet us on the first day and humpbacks to bid us farewell at the end? But seriously, the trip met my expectations and more. Great value for the price.
-- Ralph Parks, Johnstone Strait

"Both the kayaking and yoga went hand in hand to make the trip exceptional; and the wilderness setting was so relaxing; guides and yoga instructor were awesome - my best trip ever!"

-- Evelyn Gelegonya, Sea of Cortez kayak/whales/yoga combo

"The trip exceeded my expectations … outstanding guides, excellent food, well planned, beautiful location. The weather was perfect…blue skies, sunshine and warm temperatures with a light breeze. The kayaking and snorkeling were great."
-- Arthur Rosenshein, Sea of Cortez (Loreto, Baja California, Mexico)

"This was a true vacation in all sense of the word; I loved it!"

-- Mike Aitchison, Sea of Cortez

"This trip was on par with our Grand Canyon trip - best two trips of our lives.  Your Mexican guides gave us the great gift of themselves and we all adored them. Amazing food - how often do you get WARM cake when camping??  What a New Year's!

-- Jennifer Katze, Sea of Cortez

National Geographic Traveler magazine’s 2009 Tours of a Lifetime, featured in the May/June 2009 issue:
“Every year, the editorial team combs the world to find the most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours,” notes senior editor Norie Quintos. “This year, we wanted to make sure that the trips we picked were also a great value, given the economic climate. What we found is that there is no better time to go on a guided tour than now as the traditional savings offered by an outfitter being able to negotiate better rates on a trip’s components is magnified by cheaper airfares, a strengthened dollar, and more discounts, freebies, and extras.”
Heather Wyatt -Publicity Director
