About this activity
Paddle between two distinctly different marine environments in a single excursion: the calm, crescent-shaped Santa Maria Bay and the rocky, reef-rich Chileno Bay. This 2.5-hour private kayak and snorkel adventure offers an intimate perspective of the Sea of Cortez's coastal topography and underwater biodiversity that land-based viewing cannot match.
Although Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay are located only a short distance apart, they offer noticeably different coastal environments. Santa Maria's horseshoe-shaped cove provides natural protection from prevailing swell, while Chileno Bay is characterized by extensive rocky reef systems that support diverse marine habitats. Traveling between the two by kayak creates a unique perspective of the coastline that is not available from shore. The combination of paddling and snorkeling also allows travelers to experience both the surface and underwater environments of the Sea of Cortez, gaining a deeper appreciation for the marine ecosystems that have made Los Cabos one of Mexico's most celebrated coastal destinations.
