This 6-day course utilizes the venues around Loreto to experience the various ways in which Nature can be dynamic. The Loreto National Marine Park provides rocky features, close islands, and warm water, as well as stunning mountain scenery. When the winter north wind is up, 600nm of fetch provides us with good surf for learning.
This course is designed for paddlers with a good foundation of boat handling skills. Sea Kayak Baja Mexico makes British Canoeing & ACA courses accessible to Latin American participants who have limited access to official training, but typically a rich background of experience. Taking this training in Baja is an exciting cultural travel adventure with a purpose, and a common link with the local participants, many of whom are Baja guides. The background of the participants, as well as the experience of the coaches, enriches any course.
We integrate related programs in this course, such as British Canoeing’s Foundation Safety and Rescue course and navigation basics. Sea Paddler Course will be run by a bilingual coaching team featuring Ginni Callahan and one of her certified and experienced guide/coaching staff.
