Baja Expeditions offers various sea kayaking trips including the Coastal Sea Kayaking from Loreto to La Paz, Islands Sea Kayaking (our favorite). This trip explores the desert islands that populate the Sea of Cortez.

Channel Islands Kayaking offers a full range of ocean kayaking activities. We took their full day trip to Santa Cruz and it was great! We paddled along the coastline of Santa Cruz and explored spectacular sea caves, beautiful covers and secluded beaches.

We've done the weekend trip several times and highly recommend it.

Kayak Kauai offers an all day adventure that explores the entire Napali coast. On this 17 miles guided paddle you will explore sea caves and waterfalls in the company of spinner dolphins and sea turtles. We did this trip in May 2005 and rated it the most beautiful place to paddle in the world!

La Jolla Kayak Fishing offers various trips. The most popular trip is the one-day offshore-guided fishing trip. It is an instructional guide service, which teaches you what you need to know to be successful and safe while kayak fishing. .

Our favorite local paddle is to the La Jolla SeaCaves. Due to a change in the permit laws, we no longer offer trips but do offer boat rentals. During the tour of the La Jolla marine reserve, you may see seals, leopard sharks, girabaldi, sting rays and brown pelicans. If the surge permits, you can also explore into the Seacaves.
