Kayaking in Cabo

As a tourist spot popular for its beaches and waters (Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean), water sports and activities are among Cabo San Lucas’ best selling attractions. Tours and expeditions abound the city, all with competitive packages for the visitor’s enjoyment. The most sought-after tour agencies for water sports include Baja Xplorer Expeditions and Cabo Extreme Sports. Popular sites for water sports are Adventure Island, and the Cape region, and certain areas in the Sea of Cortez.

Kayaking is one of the water sports participated by mostly dedicated water fanatics, though a few curious first-timers are also always part of the crowd. Kayakers will find nothing to want in Cabo’s unspoiled Cape region, as the kayaking tours make a point to bring patrons to sheltered coves and hidden beaches. There are tours for both half-day and full-day, and they often include complimentary refreshments, lunch, transportation and ecology lectures about the local wildlife, and sea life. These tours cover routes through the Nomadas del Baja or Los Lobos del Mar. All tours guarantee a low guide to client ratio, so as to provide more than adequate attention to all client’s needs.

Kayakers are usually ecologists or environmentalists, so first-timers should be forewarned about bringing back any trash, as well as picking up pieces of trash from the beach so as to leave a better place behind.

Kayaking boats favored by Kayakers are the Cobra kayaks, boats with long, sleek hulls, providing the stability required for beginners, while simultaneously providing the speed that would please intermediate and advanced users, which thus makes Cobras an excellent choice for all levels of experience.

Some kayaking tours also offer optional snorkeling, while also providing meals and camping equipment. Some longer kayaking tours also endeavor to Baja California’s remotest ocean areas. Different kayaking tours offer different perks, ranging from breakfast, beverages and other extras, though all tours offer the required safety equipment, boats and other gear.
