We left the midwest the morning after Christmas headed for a week of paradise. The weather was perfect for our circumnavigation of Espirito Isle. Our guide, Carlos, and the crew Chuy and Alberto were fantastic. There's nothing like watching the sunset on a deserted beach while sipping margaritas and enjoying a great meal. Our college-aged sons were along and had... More

the four day Magdolena Bay trip was spectacular. The whales cooperated, The guides were knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. Nothing phased them. The food was great! I wish I had brought one more layer of warm clothes for the nights. Not for a first time camper. More

The crew at Mar y Aventuras was extremely professional, friendly, and helpful during all aspects of the trip. We did the self-supported kayak trip on Isla Espiritu Santo, where the birding, snorkeling, and sunsets were amazing! The highlight of the trip was witnessing a small pod of orcas feeding on a school of rays! I highly recommend kayaking with Mar... More

Can't say enough positives about the guides, the crew, the hotel, the camp site, the food. These folks are the best. Just got back from Baja and am still HIGH from the whale watching. I touched a whale! Awesome! Posada Lunasol is a charming hotel off the beaten path in LaPaz. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Guides at... More

We did the kayak to Isla Espiritu Santo. The location, guide and facilities were very good. However, we had originally booked for 4 nights and were then told that we could only go for 3 which was disappointing, as there were overlapping bookings. That meant we only had 2 full days as we were told we had to leave at... More

Really astonished by the professionalism of this company, we did a 4 day trip with them, everything was excellent from the start to the end: the staff, the organization, flexibility, food, activities... Can only recommend to join them for a kayak trip in Baja and really good price overall compared to the other agencies. More

Fantastic trip to really get a feel for what the Baja is like, our leader Miguel with his perfect English and as a 5th generation Baja resident was exceptional with his natural history of the islands. More

My wife and I had never done a trip like this before and although I've been diving for 30+ years we both had some trepidation about kayaking in the Sea of Cortez. We, and two other family couples were part of a group of 13 that did the 4-day, 3 night getaway. We had 2 cooks, two tour guides and... More

I have previously traveled with this company on longer trips. This was a "quick get-away" with my 10 year old grandson. This was a short trip to Espiritu Santo Island....3 1/2 days. The trip was everything I had hoped it to be. There were plenty of activities to include sea kayaking, snorkeling, swimming with the sea lions, hiking. We were... More
