Our Quick Getaways to Espiritu Santo Island (ESI) allow us to settle into a beautiful base camp on a white sand beach adorned with turquoise waters and giant cactus. Without having to move camp daily we have plenty of time to explore volcanic cliffs by kayak, hike into canyons adorned with hanging fig trees and snorkel with friendly sea lions and tropical fish or try a hand at fishing each morning.

During late December through mid-March we provide a luxury camp of “glamping” complete with walk-in tents, cots, pads and pillows. Trips during this time can be combined with our Quick Getaway whale watching trips for the ultimate wildlife experience combining both of Baja’s coasts. For fall and spring Quick Getaway trips to Espiritu Santo Island, we provide a comfortable base camp using crawl-in backpacking style tents.

Our flexible itinerary facilitates a variety of activities for a variety of interests from paddling and hiking to snorkeling and fishing. Motorized skiffs provide a safe and luxurious sea kayaking excursion. These skiffs allow us to participate in activities not possible if traveling by kayak alone. We can motor to snorkeling “hot spots” including a sea lion rookery where we snorkel among these graceful creatures enjoying their playful and curious nature first hand. Along the shores of ESI It’s common to see manta rays and dolphins leaping from the sea’s surface. During spring trips humpback whales frequent these waters and our skiffs enable us to move closer for remarkable encounters.

On our Espiritu Santo Quick Getaways you can explore distant islands and coastlines by kayak, hike among desert cactus, snorkel with sea lions and bring in fresh “catch of the day” prior to breakfast as well as relax on the beach and enjoy a good book.

Our Quick Getaway trips are economically budgeted without hotel accommodations. If you would like to stay in La Paz before or after your trip, at our own beautiful hotel the Posada LunaSol, we would be happy to arrange these accommodations for you.
