Adventure
Kayak Caper Kayak paddle in estuary channels. Book online now Navigate silently on a kayak through the tranquil waters of one of Puerto Peñasco's estuaries and enjoy watching some of the rare and endemic bird species while learning from an expert naturalist guide all about estuary ecology, biology and human interaction.
High tides in the Upper Gulf of California allow naturalist enthusiasts to access otherwise inaccessible estuary channels that fan out into the salt marsh. It is in these channels where a plethora of species can be observed; fiddler crabs, flounder, egrets, willets, long billed curlews, and herons along with many other migratory bird species and halophyte plants use these hypersaline ecosystems as refuge, hatcheries, nurseries, feeding and breeding grounds as well as resting places for migrating bird species. Experience first-hand and marvel in the simple, yet rewarding effort of paddling along in a single or double kayak through the waterways of Morua Estuary guided by an experienced naturalist guide who will end the EcoTour at a local female owned oyster farm cooperative where you can contribute to the conservation of estuarine ecosystems in the region by purchasing fresh harvested oysters, ceviche tostadas and mantarraya tacos.
