For 10 days we are overlooked by an enormous and spectacular mountain range, the Sierra de la Giganta. In many places towering cliffs plunge directly into the Gulf. The striking contrast between the deep red volcanic rock and the turquoise sea of Cortez is spell-binding. Remote and beautiful camping beaches are numerous and canyons beckon the intrepid to explore on foot. We can expect daily dolphin sightings, perhaps whales and pristine snorkeling areas. Fresh fish will feature on the menu so feel free to bring your own fishing line! Mid trip we provide a re-provision to replenish water and food supplies and to remove accumulated trash thus reducing our burden by 50%. This expedition is for those looking for a more remote sea-kayaking destination with some challenging days' paddling.
