Whale Watching In Baja, Whale Watching Tours In Baja

All that you Need to Know About Whale Watching in Baja by Keith Jones

The USA and Mexico are famous for many things, but if you plan a winter trip, skipping whale watching in Baja is a big mistake. Every year, in the beginning of December, the gray whales begin arriving as their southward migration ends in the shallow lagoons where they will give birth, socialize, and find mating partners.

There are few locations in the world where you can view and get very close to gray whales as they are selective in finding the right spot to give birth and begin raising their baby. So, allow us to make your vacations merrier and comfortable.

What do we Offer?

We have two basic whale watching vacation options for groups or individuals (no single supplement ever):

1. You can come to our camp for a whale of a time on the serene ocean. We always hope and expect you to have a close encounter with gray whales. As per the guidelines, our boats don't go beyond the proximity of 50 yards from a gray whale. So, instead, we wait for them to approach the vessel, where you can even caress them.

2. The second Baja whale watching option is even more exciting as you can see a combination of the giant Blue Whales in the Sea of Cortez and the gray whales in the Pacific Laguna Ojo de Liebre.

The Starting Point

You reach our meeting point in San Diego via road or air. The hotel offers you a shuttle service for those guests staying the night there.

Our team will meet you the following day at 7 AM and transport you to the Ensenada Airport, from where you can board a flight already reserved.

A Standard 5 Day Trip Itinerary

We maintain a regular schedule thus giving you enough time to rest and enjoy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. The dinners are prepared by an excellent local chef associated with us for 20 years.

DAY 1- We connect to you at the Holiday Inn-Bayside hotel in San Diego and transfer you across the border to the Ensenada Airport. From here, you are flown to Guerrero Negro, followed by a 1-hour drive to our seaside camp. We then meet you for an orientation session over dinner.

DAY 2 and Beyond- The days start with morning breakfast, and then the group leaves for the much-awaited Baja whale watching trip that lasts around 1 ½ hours by regulation. We plan to do two boat trips each day.

Last Day- We catch a flight returning to the Ensenada Airport on the final day from the Guerrero Negro airport. We transport you across the border again in a van or car. You will likely arrive in the USA late in the afternoon. The arrival time can vary depending on the border crossing time.
