Private Loreto Bay Kayak & Sierra Giganta Canyon Hike

Paddle the electric-blue shallows of the Loreto Bay National Marine Park by sea kayak, then trade paddle for boots for a guided hike into the sculpted volcanic canyons of the Sierra de la Giganta — Baja's ultimate active adventure, private and tailored.

What to expect

Launch kayaks from a quiet Loreto beach and paddle through calm, translucent water past volcanic islets frequented by blue-footed boobies and pelicans. Your guide points out underwater terrain and local wildlife before you beach the kayaks and transition to a hike through a dramatic desert canyon — towering cardón cacti, ancient rock art, and surreal silence. The contrast of sparkling sea and wild sierra canyon is the defining Loreto experience.
