Overview

During the months of January through March, grey whales visit the lagoons in Baja California and Baja California Sur, where they breed, give birth and nurse their young in its "warm" and safe waters. These gentle giants are known for their preference of being close to shore, which makes them an amazing option for enthusiastic wildlife observers. This is one of those unique places in the world where you can scratch, hug, and even kiss the gray whales.

Meeting these whales in the company of a marine biologist will give you a very special experience, where you'll not only be amazed by their size, you'll also understand their behaviour, life cycle, habits, and much more.

What to expect

The activity departs from Puerto Chale and heads into Bahía Magdalena and Almejas. The spot will depend on the conditions, always choosing the place with more chances of sightings, based on the information from our captains. Our group of 1-6 people as maximum, will board a panga boat and begin the whale watching activity.

We will head out into the bay and look for these gentle giants, who often come close the boats and interact with observers, who can scratch, hug, and even kiss the gray whales that come up to see us.

Other than grey whales, we can also encounter dolphins, and lots of sea birds in the mangroves and dunes. We will stay out doing the activity for two hours.
