Whale watching in Baja California Sur

Begin with gray, blue or humpback whales, then follow Baja's desert roads and coastal communities beyond the boat.

Choose the coast by the whale

Gray whales gather in Pacific lagoons such as San Ignacio and Ojo de Liebre, while blue whales visit Loreto Bay and humpbacks appear farther south. The species and season determine where the journey begins.

Let the whale lead into Baja

The encounter can open into a peninsula journey through desert roads, missions, small towns and the Gulf of California. That is the difference between flying in for a boat trip and understanding the place around it.

Meet Alex and talk about Baja

Tell me which whales you hope to see and how much of the peninsula you want around the encounter. I will tell you what can connect.
