5-Day Trip (3 Days Whale Watching at
base camp)
Check Departures
Adult $799 | Child $719
Magdalena Bay is a series of lagoons sheltered from the Pacific Ocean by low barrier islands and is the winter breeding grounds of the California gray whale. The whales travel 5,000 miles from their Arctic feeding grounds to mate and bear their young in these protected waters. You can experience the whales and their newly-born calves surfacing just a few feet away from a motorized skiff, and if you're lucky, reach out and caress this extraordinary mammal.
Our five-day Gray Whales of Magdalena Bay whale watching tour includes three days at a safari-style base camp situated on a secluded beach at the center of whale activity. It is the perfect place to see the gray whales as they breach and spy-hop right in front of our camp! The area around our camp boasts the highest concentration of whales in Baja. Each day, motorized skiffs take you out to the deeper waters of the bay, where "friendlies" swim up and nudge the hulls. On shore, your guides will take you hiking, birding, and beachcombing.
The camp provides all the gear and amenities you need for a comfortable
wilderness experience. Your guides point out wildlife and prepare all
meals. Ideal for families with children ages 8-18 and those desiring a
shorter, more focused experience with whales.
