Espiritu Santo

Espíritu santo

An experience that must be lived at least once in a lifetime. Our most iconic expedition is a 7-day journey in which we paddle around the island in sea kayaks.

During this week of adventure, you will venture into one of the most beautiful islands in Mexico. Each day, we’ll paddle to a different beach, where we’ll set up camp and enjoy hikes, snorkeling, and learn about the local flora and fauna. Every afternoon, there will be a happy hour with regional and national dishes.

This experience can be done in Fully Catered mode, with the support of a motorboat that will transport our gear and supplies, and the presence of a chef who will delight you with the island’s most exquisite dishes.

It can also be done in expedition mode, where we will load all our equipment, clothing, food and kitchen in our kayak and we will cooperate with each other to set up camp and prepare delicious local dishes.

About the destination

Espiritu Santo Island

Espiritu Santo was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1995 and is one of several islands that make up the Gulf of California Islands National Park. The Espíritu Santo archipelago is made up of several smaller islands, several of which are important nesting sites for the region's seabirds. When viewed on Google Maps, one can't help but notice the long fjord-like bays that lie deeply sunken into the west coast and provide us with perfect camping beaches. “Los Islotes”, located off the north coast of the island, forms the jewel in the crown, where a magnificent permanent colony of sea lions resides.

Fauna

You will be able to observe a wide variety of wildlife, such as: California sea lions, tropical fish, endemic ring-tailed cat (Babisuri), whales (seasonal), dolphins, manta rays, pelicans, blue-footed boobies, ospreys, frigate birds, herons, and egrets.
