Day 4 Paddle & Play All Day
2-3 hours/6-8 miles sea kayaking
Today is another great paddling day, moving from your first camp to another beautiful beach that you will call home for two nights. While the camp staff is re-creating camp in the next location, you are paddling the coves, inlets, shoreline, and mangroves of Isla Espiritu Santo, checking out the flora, fauna, geology, and natural history of the island while hearing great stories and insights from your naturalist guide. After arriving at the take-out point, head to camp, where happy hour, a wonderful dinner, and exquisite stargazing await.

Day 5 Enjoy Your Final Full Day on the Island
Be as active or as lazy as you like today, your last full day on Isla Espiritu Santo. Hike to the highest point on the island (1,840') for spectacular views; kayak to the farthest reef to snorkel with sea turtles, octopuses, and reef fish; and/or lay around daydreaming, reading, resting, or working on your nature photography skills. The biodiversity here is stunning thanks in huge part to the island's protected status. Enjoy it today before your final evening at kayaking camp.

Day 6 Swim with Whale Sharks
2-3 hour/5-8 miles sea kayaking
Today you leave Isla Espiritu Santo bound for one of the most memorable activities yet: swimming with whale sharks. Despite the name, whale sharks are fish — the largest fish in the world, actually — and these gentle giants feed on plankton in the Bay of La Paz. It is here that you have the remarkable experience of observing and swimming with them. In the late afternoon, head back to Todos Santos, where you enjoy a fabulous farewell dinner at La Casita, where Chef Sergio Rivera serves up some of his Baja specialties.
