Each winter, gray whales migrate south from their arctic feeding grounds to breed and rear their young in Baja California’s sheltered lagoons, making it one of North America’s premier whale watching sites.
During our days in the breeding lagoons of Bahia Magdalena, we venture among them in Zodiac landing craft. This gives us a water-level perspective for whale watching that is a rare privilege in the natural world. It also positions us perfectly for the increasingly common, friendly encounters with these mammals that we’ve shared with our guests.
Our expedition offers naturalist-guided walks on uninhabited desert islands, swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking in the Sea of Cortez. The itinerary remains flexible to make the most of whale watching and wildlife sightings.
Whales, dolphins, sea lions, birds such as blue-footed boobies and frigate birds, huge cardon cacti, mangroves and sand dunes are among the wonders you’ll experience.
