With Luxury Touches

SEASONS

October – May

2 Nights Minimum

TYPES OF ADVENTURES

PRICING

Mothership Kayaking

Kayaking & Paddle Boarding

Adventure your way. At your own pace. With luxury touches from tent and tablecloth lunch service to silver tray cold drink service by a hostie waiting on the beach for you after an afternoon of paddling.

These trips are perfect for new paddlers, those worried about not having the fitness or experience and equally perfect for experienced paddlers who want to clock lots of miles.

Mothership Paddle Camp

Paddling for All Ages, Experience Levels and Fitness

Baja is a beautiful place and Espiritu Santo is a famous for kayaking. The islands, mountains and the beautiful white sand beaches of Loreto National Park are even more spectacular, almost deserted and heaven for paddlers.

With mothership paddling you don’t have to chose which location
to visit, it’s easy to do both on one trip!

Mothership Drinks

Mothership Dining - Baja California

Insider Tips

These trips are perfect for families and friends with a minimum group size of 6.

Book your own departure date and splurge with a private trip! Departures are available year-round, with October to May recommended because of the cooler weather.

Sample Itinerary

Fly into SJD.

Day 1

1 pm. Complimentary photo and video workshop. Coach transfer to La Paz to check into the Marea boutique beachfront resort. Dinner and breakfast included.

Out at Sea

Every day will be different and the activities and where we go will vary depending on how long your trip is. Your captain and guides will be working hard to maximize your experience. We might head up towards Loreto, especially if the blue whale mamas and their new calves are around in early spring. Frankly, if it’s a spring trip we should see a lot of whales. Snorkelling with sea lions is a must as are beach walks and hiking up arroyos and hidden canyons with one of our naturalists with vegetation like Elephant trees, giant Cardon Cactus and Wild Figs. The sheer volcanic cliffs and beautiful beaches viewed from a kayak are stunning.

Last Day

08:30 disembark after breakfast. Coach transfer back to SJD or join us for a post-trip extension in La Paz
