Todos Santos Eco Adventures

When it comes to sea kayaking, the place to go is the Sea of Cortez! This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to 39% of the world’s total number of marine mammal species, accounts for a third of the world’s marine cetacean species, and has 891 fish species. The remarkable scenery is formed by a rugged shoreline, desert islands and white sandy beaches where you can admire the contrast and reflection of the desert with turquoise waters.

This paddle includes a trip around La Gaviota, an active Blue-footed Booby rookery, where it’s possible to see many of our azure-footed friends enjoying the sunshine. The next stop is San Rafaelito, a permanent sea lion colony where we’ll have the chance to snorkel and engage with the joyous sea lions pups. We wrap up the day with a delicious home made lunch on a secluded beach. A perfect Baja day!

Our Pacific bluffs cliff walk starts at Punta Lobos, the sweeping Pacific beach where the local fishermen of Todos Santos launch their boats each morning and bring in the daily catch each afternoon. A quick walk up the hill brings us to breath-taking views of a different kind of coastline, with dramatic rocky outcroppings and crashing surf. We’re likely to spot whales from this high vantage point during several months of the year.

Throughout the walk we’ll have the stunning combination of desert landscape running to the sea. We’ll pass an active sea lion colony, as well as the ruins of the shipping port Los Algodones. Your guide will offer in-depth commentary on the terrific variety of flora and fauna you see, as well as the history of the area from the human perspective. After about 3.5 hours of walking, we’ll arrive at the idyllic beach of San Pedro where a picnic lunch will be waiting. San Pedro features a beautiful marsh filled with bird life and a protective cove ringed by towering palms. Here we’ll eat, relax, sunbathe, swim, read – just enjoy the bliss of being in Baja!

This walk includes a 600-foot elevation gain at the beginning, hiking over loose, uneven terrain, and some bouldering.

The Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve interpretive hike is in one of Baja California Sur’s most beautiful but least explored areas. Part of an island off the coast of Baja 10 million years ago, the Reserve is home to an incredible diversity of plant and animal life and up to 30% of species are endemic, meaning they only can be found in the Sierras.

We’ll start the hike at a local ranch, then hike up to get spectacular views all the way down to the sea. At the end of our hike, we’ll have a beautiful ranch lunch in the shade of ancient mango trees. This tour is recommended for experienced hikers only.

Baja California Sur is built on ranchero culture, and horseback riding in and around Todos Santos is a great way to get a taste of that traditional life, and to explore the area’s beautiful ecosystems and wildlife habitats. Our guides are not only experienced riders, but also avid birders and naturalists who enjoy sharing their local knowledge. Rides for all skill levels available.

Upon booking, we will require the height and weight of each person in your party, preference for Western or English tack, and rate riding ability using the following guidelines:

• Beginner: Unable to trot or canter
• Novice: Comfortable with walking, short trots, and short canters
• Intermediate: Confident and in control at all paces but do not ride regularly
• Strong intermediate: Ride regularly at all paces
• Advanced: Can handle spirited horse in open country

Todos Santos boasts some of the best surf breaks in all of Baja! Mario, our veteran surf instructor, guarantees that you’ll stand up and ride a wave – at least for a moment– before the end of your lesson! Surf enthusiasts of all ages and levels of experience welcome.
