Mar y Aventuras outfitted us for a one week independent expedition around Isla Espíritu Santo. The staff were very friendly, helpful and informative. The kayak was in great condition and we didn't have any issues with the gear. By far it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had in Baja California! Muchas gracias Belen!

My wife and I just got back from our fourth trip with Mar y Aventuras, and we're already starting to plan the next one. We've done their Magdalena Bay Whale Watching trip once and their Island Hopping trip in the Sea of Cortez three times, and all of those week-long outings were superb. Mar y Aventuras ranks among the best... More

If you are looking to kayak, explore Espiritu Santo, have an amazing time, enjoy great food, and meet fantastic new friends... Mar y Aventuras is the company for your trip! My friends and I recently (April 2013) joined Mar y Aventuras on their 8 Day Espiritu Santo Circumnavigation kayak trip, and we were extremely sad when the trip ended. We... More

Mar y Aventuras offers excellent kayak tour and guide service, but they also rent kayaks to qualified paddlers. Recently, my girlfriend and I rented a Seda Tango double kayak and the necessary gear to do our own self-supported trip around Isla Espíritu Santo, one of Baja's gems. Besides renting the kayak, we also opted for the panga "ferry" ride out... More

Our adventure with Mar y Aventuras was really wonderful. Not only was it one of the most beautiful places, the crew members really made it memorable. A special thanks to our captains "Angel and Julio", chef "Martin" and both of our guides "Sergio and Miguel" for making out get-away so spectacular.

If I had one word for the crew at Mar y Aventuras it would be "Maestros".

This was the perfect introduction to sea kayaking adventure for our family. There were so many great things to do including kayaking, fishing, stand up paddle boarding and even snorkelling with sea lions!!! The campsite was beautiful and the staff were very skilled and exceptionally helpful. Our girls, 8 and 10, really enjoyed it. I highly recommend Mar y Aventuras.

Fantastic trip - crew was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable (Carlos and Roman are incredible!). Well organized, scenery was gorgeous, food was excellent. Saw dolphins, whales, mantas, sea lions, different birds, a coyote, lots of different fish. Good mix of snorkeling, sea kayaking, hiking and leisure time. Thoroughly enjoyed it - highly recommended.
