Fly or drive at your convenience to our newest whale watching camp in San Ignacio Lagoon, where your accommodations are in comfortable cabañas, elevated from the sand. Book the dates that work best for you or choose from four scheduled departures. Twice-daily skiff rides take you to the whale viewing area, where you'll experience the thrill of friendly whales surfacing just a few feet away.

Explore the islands and coast between La Paz and Loreto as you cruise aboard the Don Jose. On this voyage of discovery, you'll share some of the same experiences Steinbeck recorded in his book, "The Log from the Sea of Cortez." These rich waters feed the world’s largest animals, blue and finback whales, among many marine mammals, from dolphins to sea lions. Kayaking and snorkeling add to the amazing whale and bird watching that are hallmarks of this cruise.

Explore uninhabited islands and seas rich with whales and other marine life in the Gulf of California as you cruise all the way to Land's End at the tip of Baja. This natural history expedition also provides an optional, one-day extension to see the gray whales in Magdalena Bay.

By land and by sea: first explore historical missions and on foot, then watch whales for four days in San Ignacio Lagoon. (Or vice versa.) Bird watchers will delight in the many different species that can be seen during the trip. You’ll ride a skiff into the middle of the famous gray whale nursery in this World Heritage site. Sleep by the beach in comfort in our new Cabañas Camp.

Our completely customizable package includes crew and guides to accommodate a full menu of natural history activities for up to eight discriminating travelers. For those who want a more in-depth experience, swimming workshops, free diving or photo clinics can be arranged.

Bring your family to camp and play at Magdalena Bay, in the breathtaking beauty and wildlife of a great wetland ecosystem. Observe gray whales mating, giving birth, playing, and raising their young. Paddle through mangroves rich in bird life, tumble down sand dunes, and learn firsthand why wetlands are such a big deal. Activities for all ages and abilities, value pricing and flexible of fixed scheduling make this an ideal family adventure.

Meet with two marine icons: gray whales and sea turtles, on the Pacific side of Baja. We’ll take skiffs out among gray whales in beautiful Magdalena Bay, where thousands come to mate and rear their young. Later, help monitor sea turtles with local conservationists. Secondary activities include paddling along mangrove estuaries and hiking in sand dunes.

Short on time? Our day trips allow you to experience a bit of Baja within your time frame. Or, extend your stay with us if you do have time to spare. Your choices range from interacting with friendly gray whales to swimming with whale sharks, snorkeling with sea lions and tropical fish, diving in the Sea of Cortez, and kayaking in a paddler's paradise.
