Up Close Whale Watching in Baja, Mexico
Experience Unforgettable Gray Whale Watching in San Ignacio Lagoon, Baja, Mexico.
Embark on a remarkable adventure with our 8-day Big Whale Trip, offering an unparalleled whale watching experience in the breathtaking landscapes of Baja, Mexico. Our journey takes you to two extraordinary destinations: the charming town of Loreto on the Sea of Cortez and the renowned Gray Whale Sanctuary at San Ignacio Lagoon along the Pacific coastline.
During this immersive 8-day expedition, you'll enjoy the luxury of a seaside ocean-view resort hotel on the Sea of Cortez, where we spend three nights and two days with sea safaris and opportunities to observe majestic whales and explore the local islands. Loreto boasts an abundance of marine mammal and bird wildlife, including Blue Whales, Humpbacks, Sperm Whales, Orcas, and playful dolphins, among others. The Sea of Cortez is globally recognized as one of the most biodiverse marine habitats, making it an ideal destination for an extraordinary whale watching experience.
We also venture to the Pacific coastline, home to the legendary San Ignacio Lagoon and its winter breeding grounds for Pacific Gray Whales. Nestled in our private Ecolodge "Campo Cortez," we immerse ourselves in four days and nights of unforgettable encounters with the famous "friendly Gray Whales of San Ignacio Lagoon." These gentle giants approach our boats, inviting us to scratch, pet, and even sing to them and their adorable newborn calves. San Ignacio Lagoon is the exclusive site where this extraordinary interaction has become a regular phenomenon.
