Description
A magical whale-watching experience aboard a comfortable boat, as you enjoy the stunning beauty of the ocean with Humpback Whales gliding across the horizon. Every day, we set sail at 9 AM, heading out into the waters of Baja, where we spend 2 hours observing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. The Humpback Whales come to Baja every year to breed, calve, and nurse their young in the warm, sheltered coastal waters of Baja. During their stay, we have the chance to witness some of their most impressive behaviors—breaching, tail slapping, and singing—making each tour a unique experience. On our tours, we make it our priority to observe them from a respectful distance, ensuring that the interaction is calm and stress-free for the whales. Our experienced guides will share fascinating insights about the whales’ biology, migration and life in the ocean. Come along, and let us help you connect with the ocean’s most majestic creatures in the most respectful way possible.
