Variety, adventure and relaxation
Do you love to paddle to beautiful places, then chill and explore once you get there? This trip’s for you! We’ve heard your requests for a longer trip, and we get it. It’s a big world out there! It feels good to both cover ground and to be deeply present.
The five islands in Loreto National Marine Park each have unique personalities. From a 16,000 year-old volcano to shell-laden marine terraces; from colorful cliffs to white sand beaches, the variety of these three islands provides a scenic and inspiring setting. This “Builder-level” trip aims to visit the 3 most accessible islands in a weeklong journey that averages 8-12nm of paddling a day.
Isla Coronados is the volcano, with lava feeder tubes frozen in time, looking somewhat like giant petrified cabbages. A colony of playful sea lions enjoys a haul-out on the more remote NE corner of the island.
Rock hopping and sea caves number among the paddling delights of Isla del Carmen. Geology and snorkeling are both colorful along here, and Carmen holds the only ghost town on the islands.
Isla Danzante, the sleeping dragon, takes igneous rock to new artistic expressions. Volcanic dikes, hoodoo peaks, thin purple ash layers, mushroom rocks, and natural arches keep your head turning.
The Loreto National Marine Park is too beautiful to not enjoy a hike or a peek around underwater along the way as well. Join us for this one and see how much adventure can you pack into 12 days!
