Gray Whale Watching Tour with Marine Biologist and Small Group
La Paz, Mexico
Your marine biologist guide has spent thousands of hours on the Ocean. When you come on a tour with us you will not only have a great time, but you can be sure you will learn a lot and you will have respectful interactions with wildlife.
We also offer more time than other tours, as well as a small group size of only four people where you will be confortable in the boat and have personalized attention. We include a delicious fresh and local scallop aguachile and might go to an uninhabited island, and do birdwatching on the beautiful mangroves (depending on the group).
Contact us for a private tour or bigger group.
Description
Itinerary
Gray Whale Watching is one of Baja's most thrilling activities you can do during the winter months. Every year, around 3,000 gray whales migrate to the calm lagoons of Baja California. During our tours, quality and personalized attention is very important to us, that is why we have 4 people max.
We'll pick you up and you will have a 2 hour 15 minute drive to get to Puerto Chale. Once at Puerto Chale, you will hop on the boat and your marine biologist guide Valentina, will explain about gray whale biology and conservation. During 2 hours we'll be actively looking for whales, watching their behavior and photographing them. Following the guidelines to have a respectful interaction is a priority for us.
We also have 1 extra hour on the boat that can be used for more whale watching or to go at an inhabited island where you’ll have a 100% local and fresh seafood lunch prepared by our captain's wife, and have some time to relax. We also have the option to do bird watching at magroves on this time. Then you'll get a ride back to the pier, and drive back to La Paz. If the group decides, we can use the third hour for more whale watching instead and have lunch back on land :)
