Itinerary

Embark on an exhilarating adventure with our Gray Whale Watching experience, a highlight of Baja's winter offerings, where approximately 3,000 gray whales migrate to the serene lagoons. Ensuring a premium and personalized experience, we limit our tours to a maximum of eight people. Your journey begins with a comfortable pick-up, leading to a scenic 2-hour and 15-minute drive to Puerto Chale. Upon arrival, step onto our boat where a knowledgeable marine biologist guide will enlighten you about gray whale biology and conservation efforts. Over the course of three captivating hours, actively engage in observing and photographing these magnificent creatures, guided by our commitment to respectful interaction as per established guidelines. Upon returning to the shore, indulge in a delectable seafood feast crafted with love by our captain's wife, featuring 100% local and fresh ingredients. Take a moment to unwind before embarking on your return journey to La Paz, cherishing the memories of an unforgettable day immersed in the wonders of Baja's marine marvels. 10% of the profits are donated to saving entangled whales in the Mexican Pacific. By joining us you're also protecting them.
