Some Common Questions about our Baja Trip:
- I've never kayaked before - can I do this trip?
- How much do we paddle each day?
- What's the weather like?
- Can I drink the water in Baja?
- What's the food like?
- Do I need to bring my own camping gear?
How
much is the plane ticket?
From Los Angeles a plane ticket is approximately $250-$360 round trip.
Add approximately $150 for the additional cost from San Francisco.
I've
never kayaked before - can I do this trip?
This trip is fine for beginners. Kayak instruction is part of the package.
However, participants should be in reasonable physical shape and more
importantly enjoy camping. Sign ups can take our Intro Class in Sausalito
for half-price.
How
much do we paddle each day?
Our longest stretch is approximately 6-7 miles when we move camp. Other
days we take shorter paddles. However, those who wish to paddle more are
welcome to take a boat out and greet the sunrise.
What's
the weather like?
Baja is mostly sunny and the temperature is generally in the 80s during
the day. At night it can cool down into the 50's. We choose to do our
trips in March/ April because there's less wind, warmer air, and better
water temperatures than earlier in the year.
Can
I drink the water in Baja?
Loreto has a water treatment facility and the town's water is drinkable
but to be extra safe we recommend drinking bottled water when in town.
Our hotel provides bottled water. Water provided on the kayak portion
of the trip comes directly from a water purification plant.
What's
the food like?
Fish tacos in town at Lulu's, fresh brewed coffee percolating on some
deserted beach, mexican eggs, tortillas, and fruit. How about guacamole
and chips to nibble on, or a fresh fish fry. Hors' doeuvres and fresh
salads are served most nights, snacks are on hand during the day, and
there ís always plenty available for vegetarians.
Do
I need to bring my own camping gear?
You only need to bring your personal gear, a lightweight sleeping bag
and pad. Sea Trek provides roomy Mountain Hardwear tents for double occupancy
only. If you want to be assured of single occupancy, bring your own compact
tent.
What sort of clothes do I
need? This is Baja, so a few changes of beach wear, some extra layers
for evenings and early mornings, some town clothes, and sun protection
are all that youíll need in the clothing department. We'll send
you a clothing list when you sign up. Are there any bugs? Thankfully no,
except for the occasional midges around the sunset hour.
