Yoga on the beach, margaritas at sunset, mellow sea kayaking with dolphins, snorkeling with angelfish - true Baja Bliss!

Loreto, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2010

USA-based Sea Kayak Adventures, Inc. is offering fully catered, fully guided sea kayaking and whale watching and yoga tours, all suitable for novices, in Loreto Bay National Marine Park October through April each year.

Exclaims company co-founder Nancy Mertz, “I grew up in Hawaii and have explored the Galapagos Islands, and I find Loreto Bay in the Sea of Cortez (also known as Gulf of California) absolutely on par with those exquisite locations. Loreto Bay National Park is truly a world-class sea kayaking and wildlife destination”. Nancy adds “a renowned whale researcher told me recently that one third of the world’s whale species call Gulf of California home and the ecosystem is still remarkably intact – truly a national and world treasure. We love to share the magic of Loreto Bay with folks who want to drink up nature”.

Nancy went on to state: “Loreto is unique and vital for ecotourism visitors because:
1) Loreto has the closest jet airport to the best whale hot spots in Baja California (gray whales of Magdalena Bay; blue and fin whales in Gulf of California). Whale watching is very popular world-wide and people will spend significant time and money to get to the best whale-viewing destinations.
2) Loreto Bay National Marine Park islands have also been called "Mexico's Galapagos" enjoying strict federal protection for future generations. Fantastic snorkeling available.
3) The park and our tours are suitable for novices age 11 and up – spring break is perfect for families.
4) Sea kayak companies in the park are limited in number and strictly regulated for the protection of the park - this is beneficial to visitors and locals alike. The park is a world-class sea kayaking destination (because of uninhabited islands, protected camping, intact and diverse ecosystems, many species of plants, animals, birds in the water and on land)
5) Loreto is special because of its unique history, being the first capital of Baja California and the historic mission built in 1697 is still in use today.
6) Loreto is a small quaint town off the beaten track, where visitors feel safe and relaxed. The locals have huge hearts and are immensely proud of their fishing heritage and town history. Sports fishermen have enjoyed Loreto for decades. We are honored to be running tours in Loreto, introducing visitors to the magic of Loreto Bay.

Adds Nancy, "Loreto is truly a jewel in the crown of natural wonders that Mexico should be very proud of. We hope Loreto will stay the most unique place that it is. The visitor can go anywhere for hotels, beaches, golf courses. It is the unique natural wonders and history that sets Loreto apart from all the rest of Mexican coastal destinations.”

The company runs tours as short as 3 days kayaking/2 nights hotel for $995 up to 10 days of kayaking, although the most popular are the tours with 4 and 6 days of kayaking/2 nights hotel for $1095 and $1255 respectively. Also popular are the kayaking and whale watching combo tours each Feb and March. Loreto is just a 1 hour jet flight direct from Los Angeles LAX to Loreto LTO on Alaska Airlines, or one can get there via Cabo San Lucas.
