Whale watching in Baja California & the Sea of Cortez, Mexico

Whale watching in Baja California & the Sea of Cortez, Mexico

Baja California, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, is one of the best places in the world (if not the best) for whale and dolphin watching. During this superb holiday, we hope to see as many as 10-15 different cetacean species – as well as a host of other wildlife – and are likely to have life-changing encounters with some of the largest and most inquisitive animals on the planet. Mark has been whale-watching for more than 30 years in more than 50 countries, and in his opinion, Baja is by far the best place for the closest and most varied encounters with a wide variety of species. He was among the first to start whale-watching tours there, leading trips in the region during the prime whale-watching season, every year, since 1999.

Highlights

• Fabulous whale watching with a good variety of whales and dolphins and life-changing close encounters with some of the largest animals on the planet.
• Good chance of seeing blue, humpback, fin, grey and sperm whales, among others.
• Explore off-the-beaten-track islands.
• An exclusively chartered boat with a highly experienced crew.
• Wide variety of other wildlife includes California sea lions and Guadalupe fur seals, whale sharks, Munk’s pygmy devil rays, blue-footed boobies, Laysan albatrosses, black-footed albatrosses, magnificent frigatebirds, red-billed tropicbirds and hummingbirds.
• Shore walks and snorkelling (including with whale sharks and California sea lions).
