The sun lifts off the Sea of Cortez as you push from Playa La Posada, paddle blades slicing a calm bay scattered with anchored boats and the rusted ribs of older wrecks.

Conservation
Mangroves here are vital nursery habitat for fish and crustaceans—avoid landing in dense root zones, minimize noise, and pack out all waste to protect sensitive areas.

Time your paddle with the tide
High tide gives access to narrower mangrove channels and better bird viewing; check local tide charts and aim for a morning departure.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and polarized sunglasses—reflected sun off the water intensifies exposure.
Respect the weight guideline
The operator’s 95 kg (209 lb) limit is for safety and kayak performance—ask about sit-on-top alternatives if needed.
Paddle basics matter
Keep a relaxed grip, rotate from your torso when stroking, and follow guide commands to conserve energy and stay stable.
Personal flotation device (life jacket)
Often provided, but a properly fitted PFD is essential for safety on open water.
Water shoes or sandals with grip
Protects feet when launching from rocky or shell-strewn beaches and offers traction in wet conditions.

Dry bag (small, 5–10L)
