Whale Watching

In winter, the Baja California peninsula becomes home for whales that look warmer waters to mate and breed.
Whales travel to find the perfect place to give birth to their calves and get shelter from low temperatures and cold waters.

It is possible to watch the different whale species like the grey whale, blue whale and the humpback whale along several spots in Ruta 1 in Baja California Sur. 

Visitors can travel along Ruta 1 starting in Cabo San Lucas in the south, or north in Guerrero Negro and head towards the following destinations suggested for whale watching: Cabo San Lucas - Cabo Pulmo – Magdalena Bay - Loreto - San Ignacio Lagoon - Guerrero Negro.

Several tour operators in Baja California Sur can provide a number of whale watching tours, depending on the kind of experience travelers want to have.  Some require booking the tour in advance.
Regardless of the experience the traveler chooses to have and for the safety of people and whales, it is mandatory to hire the services of authorized, trained and experienced guides.
