Guided trip
Join us on a 5-day Gray Whale Adventure in Baja! Gray Whales migrate from the Arctic every year to Baja California Sur to reproduce, give birth, and feed their calves. Over the years, these gentle giants have developed a relationship with boat captains, making it a unique experience where whales bond with humans. During this road trip, we will travel from La Paz to Guerrero Negro (770 km), and visit several stunning places on our way to the lagoons, where the whales are hanging out. Baja California Sur is a one-of-a-kind destination, where the Mountains meet the Sea. I am Rachida. I travelled all over the world before finding home in the bay of La Ventana, Baja California Sur, Mexico. I am an ocean lover, a dive master, and recently started spearfishing. I love to discover untouched areas and seek local experiences. What's the plan? Day 1 Departure from La Paz in the afternoon. We will make our way to San Carlos - approximately a 4-hour drive (270 KM). Night in San Carlos. Day 2 Gray whale observation in Magdalena Bay.
