Dan & Lisa Goy – Owners
Our first camping vacation in Mexico was in 1985 traveling in our Class B. Our children were small (2 & 4 years old) and our parents and friends thought for sure we would never be seen again. This 4 month adventure would be a life altering experience as we fell in love with Mexico. We traveled down Baja, moving from beach to beach, then took the ferry from Cabo San Lucas to Puerto Vallarta on the mainland. We spent most of December just outside of Acapulco in Pie de la Cuesta and were invited to a Mexican family’s home for Xmas in Mexico City before returning home to BC. There is no doubt this experience changed our lives forever as we have continued to embrace RVing in Mexico in winter when possible, routinely since 2002. The Mexican camping experience is more than just tropical sun and fun, the culture and customs are truly unique and the people are wonderful, always willing to help and ready to make new friends that often last a lifetime.
Our love of Mexico was pivotal in the decision to start Baja Amigos RV Caravan Tours in 2008. Lisa’s 25 years of organizing camping fun & adventure for families with Girl Guides of Canada and Dan’s 30 years of experience working with people in diverse sectors of the economy including government and tourism ensure our tour delivers a Mexico RV experience of a lifetime.
Dan and Lisa were married in 1978 in Burnaby, BC, and have lived in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. They settled in Surrey, BC ten (10) years later in 1988 and have raised three (3) children who are now adults. Dan and Lisa share their house with Lisa’s 91 year old Mom who has traveled and camped in Baja with them many times, the last in 2015. Our family joined us on Baja for the month of February in 2018. After 33 years in Surrey Dan, Lisa & Sylvia moved to West Kelowna in 2019 (Sadly Lisa’s Mom Sylvia pased away in December 2022). After leading 27 tours Dan & Lisa no longer work as Wagon-Masters and focus on managing the business.

They first met Dan & Lisa a decade ago in Cabo San Lucas while both were leading an RV Caravan tour group and were impressed by their personal approach, on-tour excursions and limiting the caravans to small groups is a great concept.
They really look forward to our role as Wagon-Masters with Baja Amigos, and find it very rewarding introducing RVers to Baja for the first time who will be as amazed with the stunning beauty and wonderful people as they were. “Words really can’t express it; this must be experienced first-hand.”
