Help conserve Espiritu Santo

The Archipelago of Espiritu Santo is part of the 'Gulf of California Islands' Flora and Fauna Protection Area.  Endemic species inhabit the islands and the terrestrial portion of the biodiversity include more than 200 species of vascular plants.  There are more than 70 species of insular fauna, in groups such as amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, which include notables like the Juancito (little squirrel), the Babisuri (Ring-tailed cat), the Black Hare.  In the surrounding waters you can observe more than 50 species of aquatic birds that nest in the archipelago and more than 15 species of marine mammals. On our fly fishing trips we average fifteen species of fish. The island seas are bursting with life. Some areas around Espiritu Santo are protected marine sancuaries and may not be fished.

By joining one of our overnight expeditions to San Jose Isalnd, Espiritu Santo Island, or Cerralvo Isalnd a proportion of  your trip fee is given to the Conservation Department of the Mexican Government (SEMARNAT).  Great efforts are being made to conserve  the islands in their natural splendor so we may continue to enjoy them in pristine condition.  We  help to protect the islands providing statistical information and voluntary ranger service besides arranging periodic beach cleaning.  We proudly uphold the conservation efforts and with your support  we will continue to enjoy this wonderful kayaker's paradise.
