5-Nights The Great Gray Whales of Baja (Women Only Departures Available)

Make Giant Friendships at Sea on Mexico's Baja Peninsula

Each winter, hundreds of gray whales return to their traditional breeding and birthing grounds along the Pacific coast of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Their 6,000-mile migration from Alaska's Bering Sea to these sheltered lagoons is the longest mammal migration on Earth. Once hunted nearly to extinction, these gentle leviathans have made a dramatic comeback. Friendly and engaging, they are often intrigued with humans, swimming right up to our open boats in the warm, shallow waters of San Ignacio Lagoon. We may see mothers with their babies, and our small groups frequently interact with them at close range. The whales entertain us with breaching and spy-hopping, and we may observe mating behavior as well. When you come to Baja with us, you'll be forever spoiled for whale watching, because it doesn't get any better than this!
