MAP Kayaking & Whale Watching Tour - Baja California

Mangrove Action Project

6-Day Mangrove Kayaking & Whale Watching Tour
Benefit Paddle in Baja

7-12 February 2008

Join MAP's Latin American Coordinator on a trip that promises to remind us
why we do this work!

Join the Mangrove Action Project for our first journey to the mangrove estuary in Magdalena Bay, a Gray Whale Nursery in Baja. This year, thanks to our friends at Blue Waters Kayaking, we’ll camp three days and two nights at an exclusive island camp in the heart of the whale nursery, where the Gray Whales are born. From camp you will experience whales spouting and playing, dolphins swimming by, pelicans visiting on the beach next door and coyotes howling at night—a nature lover’s dream. Mornings will be spent visiting the whales by motorboat and in great amazement these enormous mammals approach us to introduce their newly born young. We will kayak the mangrove labyrinth as flocks of white pelicans fly overhead and yellow crowned night herons stare at us at eye level between mangrove leaves. The trip begins and ends in the charming town of Loreto, where we will stay in a hotel on the Sea of Cortez.

The only Island base camp situated between a
Mangrove Estuary and a Gray Whale Birthing Lagoon:

Our exclusive beach camp is ready to serve you with hot showers, and the best kitchen this side of the border, solar electricity to charge your cameras, large tents with plush sleeping pads and wall tents with elevated cots, plenty of fresh water, a large community dome, and chairs & sun umbrellas for lounging and reading.
