Magnificent Whales of Baja

Every winter, Baja waters give life to many types of whales, among them the California Gray whale, Blue, Fin and Humpback Whales. They travel thousands of miles from Alaska to warmer waters of Baja to feed, mate, give birth, and play. Humpback whales enjoy showing off for crowds by spouting and breaching, leaping almost completely out of the water.

No wonder why whale watching is one of the most sought after winter activities in Baja. Go on a whale watching
trip and/or see them from the shore. You might get lucky and even get to pet a whale!

***We recommend whale watching trips at Magdalena Bay or Puerto San Carlos. You will have a great experience and also help areas highly affected in hurricane Jimena in September 2009.
