To protect your health and that of other travelers and our staff, a negative Covid test is required within 3 days of your meeting or course with us. You can test here in Loreto if you have 3 hours before your meeting, and get the results in time. (See contact information for Laquimia lab below).
Our guides are also tested before each trip. We strongly recommend getting vaccinated before traveling. Thank you!
Sea Kayak Baja facilitates your pre-departure Covid testing by stopping by the testing center on the drive back from your trip, en route to your hotel, for clients on multi-day trips. For antigen tests results are ready in 2-3 hours. It costs about $45USD and can be paid in USD, pesos or by credit card.
The PCR takes half a day, or 3 hours if expedited. IT costs $180USD and can be paid in USD, pesos or by credit card.
We recommend Laquimia lab in Loreto at their clinic near Apollo Gym on a side street just off Independencia, near Pescador market.
For reservations call +52 477 247 5304. For registered clients of Sea Kayak Baja Mexico, we plan a visit to the lab on the return from your trip to your hotel. Please come prepared with your passport and a method of payment handy.

Travel Insurance Review
Forbes CFAR article
We are being as flexible and generous as we can while still hoping to remain in business. We are a small, homegrown company and simply do not have the financial reserves to act as an insurance company ourselves, so please insure your trip.
SKBM has a dedicated apartment (1 unit) in case of client infection. There are also hotels in Loreto dedicated to hosting patients in quarantine. Rental rates will apply.
We continue to strive to survive the Covid challenge with your generous support, and look forward to continuing to build the vision.
Thank you for your confidence in us!
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. info@seakayakbajamexico.com
