3 day gray whale expedition in Magdalena Bay
3 days all inclusive gray whale sighting in Magdalena Bay
On this expedition you will be able to enjoy one of the most friendly and social giants of the sea, the gray whale. During the months of January through April these giants of the ocean travel from the northern seas to the warm, protected bays of Baja California Sur to mate and give birth, giving us the opportunity to experience unique encounters.
Magdalena Bay is one of those unique places where you can scratch, hug, and even kiss the gray whales that come up to see us. During these 3 days, you will enjoy gray whale watching expeditions in a way you have never dreamed of, staying in an exclusive camp on Magdalena Island surrounded by huge gray whale skeletons that will make our adventure an unforgettable experience.

It is common to enjoy dozens of gray whales, and admire the playful and social behavior of the youngest ones.
All this, accompanied by a unique environment of dunes, desert islands and mangroves worthy of the best documentaries.

An incredible day trip with the Grey Whales
I went on this tour with my 5-year-old daughter. Everything was excellent!! It lasted the whole day but went smoothly, comfortably, and was super safe. On the day of the tour, they were very punctual and we felt comfortable at all times. Seeing the whales was the best experience of my life!!! We saw many whales. Everyone on the boat had the chance to touch a whale. It was just so exciting!!!
