Highlights

    • Life is simpler in Baja, and our trip lets the world drift away in favor of watching squadrons of pelicans flying over the water, frigate birds soaring overhead, and sea lions with rakish whiskers inquisitively swimming by. Filled with wildlife, it’s a world to inspire wonder on a fundamental level. Looking upon the immense gray whales that frequent the warm waters will trigger a recognition of the exotic and fantastic. Quiet nights and the lapping of waves on the beach can only inspire peace. Our trip also immerses you into Baja culture on an authentic level. Converse with the locals and learn about their everyday life in sunny Baja during the day. At night, learn the passions of the palate with cooking lessons of Baja’s favorite dishes such as ceviche and tortillas with a bit of authentic tequila and mescal on the side.

What's this trip about?

    Our Baja Adventure Camp is located on a large mountainous island that frames a remote bay on the Pacific side of Baja.  Located on the lee side of the island, with views across a vast bay, this island paradise is the perfect place to enjoy a variety of activities including sea kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, stand up paddle boarding, snorkeling and more.  This Baja wilderness vacation destination is the perfect place for couples, families, small groups or singles. We operate from November to May as an all-inclusive eco-adventure camp where you shape your own days and can be as active as you wish, or simply relax on the beach and soak in the sun. In addition to the guided activities we offer, there’s also time to explore on your own.  Take a walk along beaches that stretch into the sunset.  Snorkel with our local guides to find scallops lodged in the sand.  Take a paddle board out for a sunrise paddle.  Hike into the mountains beyond our beach camp. We invite you to reawaken your sense of wonder at life at its purest and most authentic.

Connecting people to culture, wildlife, and nature

If there is water, there is ROW Adventures! While we started out as a Northwest whitewater rafting company in 1979, we have since expanded our reach to include tours on five continents and over 25 countries. Our ultimate focus is providing life-enriching journeys around the world that not only benefit you, but also our guides, and the people and places we visit. Rated by National Geographic Adventure as one of the “Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth,” and voted “World’s Best Tour Operator” by Travel & Leisure magazine readers, we continue to pioneer new trips and ways of adventuring in both popular and remote places of the world.

ROW offers a wide variety of trips that cater to many different activities - rafting, kayaking, hiking, biking, fishing, multisport, etc. – interests – family-focused vacations, lodge-based tours, wildlife viewing, custom itineraries – and locations – camping in the Galapagos Islands, hiking in Machu Picchu, ecolodges in the Amazon, safaris in Africa, yachting in Europe, wildlife viewing in Antarctica, sea kayaking in Baja, kayaking with orcas in British Columbia, and more.

At our core, we are all about “sharing nature, enriching lives.” We strives to connect you to the places we visit in a meaningful and personally relevant way, inspiring you to be a part of the culture and lifestyle, and creating a safe-space for you to grow and gain new insight through your travel experiences.

The driving force behind our company is a team of people passionate about travel and customer service. Setting the pace and tone are the original ROW owners and founders Peter Grubb and his life partner Betsy Bowen. With our superlative team who have an average of eight years of guiding experience, many with extensive wilderness medical training, and natural and cultural history interpretation training in order to share a deeper understanding and appreciation for the incredible places you visit, we continue to set the high watermark in adventure and guest service.

ROW has a high guide-to-guest ratio, allowing our guides to be more involved with you – joining in on meals, ensuring your comfort, answering questions, telling stories, entertaining, and sharing in on the fun and adventure. And not only are our guides there to lead the adventure, they also do all of the heavy lifting, food preparation, gear transfers, camp setup, and more, so that you can focus on your vacation.

Our guides prepare each meal for you using fresh, healthy ingredients, and there is beer and wine to boot. Luxury camping, with spacious tents, dining tables, chairs and sun showers, provides a high level of comfort even when you’re exploring remote wilderness areas. ROW provides all camping gear including tents, sleeping bags, and thick foam mattresses, and watercraft for our trips; you just need to bring clothes, yourself, and enjoy being on your adventure!
