Select participants and date
The morning begins with the hush of an empty marina and the metallic clink of kayaks being loaded into a truck. You step off the shuttle into Santa María Bay where the beach slopes gently into water the color of diluted turquoise paint. Guides fit fins and hand you a snorkel; next to them sits a glass-bottom kayak whose viewing port won’t let you pretend you’re simply looking at the sea — it forces you to peer into it.

Adventure Tips
Book a morning departure
Mornings usually have lighter winds and clearer water, improving visibility for both kayaking through rock formations and snorkeling at Chileno Bay.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect corals and your skin — apply reef-safe sunscreen before arrival and bring a rash guard for extra coverage.
Wear water shoes
Shore entry can be rocky; water shoes protect toes and give better footing when launching and landing.
Know the weight limits
Tandem kayaks have a combined weight limit (approx. 195kg/425lbs); check group arrangements or request a private kayak if needed.
