Has anyone kayaked the entire length of the baja peninsula, or does anyone have any advice? I'm trying to gather info if it is at all feasible or practical.

I have not kayaked the ENTIRE baja but I have done quite a few excursions over the years. Mostly in the Sea of Cortez, and my Pacific side adventures were at Magdalena Bay and near Guerro Negro...both prime grey whale breeding/birthing areas. The two seas are extreme opposites of each other and style of kayaking can vary.

I would recommend reading Sea Kayaking in Baja by Andromeda Romano-Lax. Or Dave Eckharts Guide to Baja Sea Kayaking to get a better idea about what you are up against.

It is by far the most spectacular and diverse eco-system in the world and you will be knocked off your socks.

Keep in mind the Baja is over 1000kms long and you may consider having a vehicle to ferry you and your equipment from site to site instead of trying to circumnavigate the entire Baja by boat.

I Kayaked 85 mile of baja from Ganzaga (spelling?) to LA bay. This segment is not traveled much and now I know why. Great paddle and you are alone. The problem is there are very few places to take out. We paddled 27miles one day and 17 the next.

Have fun,
