Baja Whale & Whale Shark Safari

from $600.00

FEBRUARY 2025 & 2026 Starting at $3,793

This is a private tour. Contact us to request your preferred dates!

Prepare for the expedition of a lifetime in Mexico’s Baja California. While we usually preach respectful distance when observing wildlife, Baja’s marine life is uniquely curious, playful and ready to engage. Each winter gray whales travel south to give birth and nurse in the safety of Baja’s turquoise lagoons. It is here where a rare phenomenon occurs: the mothers (as interested in people watching as we are in whale watching) present their calves to gentle sea-farers, ready to accept pats, kisses and head rubs as joyfully as the average golden retriever. Not only will you search out these majestic behemoths, you’ll learn to surf, swim with sea lions, and snorkle with equally large and awe-inspiring whale sharks. Both gray whales and whale sharks can grow to 40 feet in length!

Did we mention the fresh and flavorful Baja cuisine? Settle in for lunch at a beachside cantina and take a cooking class from a chef in Todos Sandos. Glamp on the pristine beaches of famed Isla Espiritu Santo where you can kayak, paddle board, bird watch and more! The island and surrounding Sea of Cortez is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with 891 species of fish, 39% of the world’s total marine mammal species, a third of the world’s marine cetacean species. What are you waiting for? Let’s go!
