Shop Information

You are looking for an exciting, action-packed and hassle free Baja Sur vacation where you can practice, learn or improve your favorite adventure sport in the glorious Baja sunshine and scenery. That’s where we come in.  From 15th November to 20th March each year our team of dedicated, experienced and friendly personnel are here with one goal in mind – to ensure your vacation not just lives up to but exceeds your expectations.

Located in the charming village of Los Barriles on the East Cape of the Sea of Cortez, Vela Baja offers the perfect location for a magical SUP or kayak experience.  No prior experience is required.  Our experienced guides are on hand to show the basic technique and provide any necessary assistance. Formal lessons are also available.

Los Barriles is situated right on the Tropic of Cancer where the foothills of the ‘Sierra De La Laguna’ mountains reach the Sea of Cortez. This spectacularly scenic, sparsely populated region of  “sub-tropical thorn forest” boasts unpolluted air and a plethora of natural plant, bird and animal life that thrives in the warm, sunny, arid climate.

Where to Paddle

The Sea of Cortez is a magical place to paddle and snorkel, and is one of the top things on everyone’s “to-do” list. Our base near the Playa del Sol Hotel is the perfect place to launch, and paddle along the coast towards the rock spot while spotting a tremendous amount of exotic marine species.  Hear the dstant singing of humpback whales and the occasional clap of a mobela ray as it leaps from the water.  Along the coastline, myriad varieties of fish are visible in the crystal clear waters.
