About the destination
San José
Archipelago
The San José Archipelago, located in the Gulf of California in Baja California Sur, is a natural treasure for sea kayaking enthusiasts. This group of islands and rock formations, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, offers a unique experience of adventure and connection with nature.
Its isolation and untouched landscapes make it an ideal destination for those looking to explore remote and wild places. San Francisco Island is the first island of the archipelago which has hikes with unique panoramic views. El pardito is a tiny island with up to 50 inhabitants who live off the sea and from visitors who buy products such as fish or crafts. San José Island is the crown of the archipelago, whose white sand beaches and channels among the mangroves make you forget that you are in the desert.
During the journey, it's common to spot playful dolphins, sea turtles, and a variety of tropical fish swimming beneath the kayak. Along its shores, seabirds like cormorants and frigatebirds put on a unique visual display, while in the mangrove channels, herons showcase their elegance as they fly and hunt.
