Itinerary

March 12

Depart from La Paz early in the morning en route to Magdalena Bay, jewel of the Pacific and home to a staggering number of migratory and marine birds, sea turtles, and marine mammals including the migratory gray whale. We will stop at one of our favorite local ranchos for a snack and a hearty cup of cowboy coffee. Arriving to Magdalena Bay we will head out on the water for the short trip to our secluded island camp, searching for whales along the way. After happy hour, chat with your guide to learn about the natural history of the region. All meals included.

Magdalena Bay Eco Camp

Red Basecamp has individual bedrooms, shared bath facilities, and a separate dining area where you can enjoy cocktails under an unbelievably starry sky.

March 13 is Gray Whale Observation and Exploration of Magdalena Bay

After a good night’s rest wake up and enjoy a delicious breakfast at camp. Wake up early to watch the fishermen conservationists prepare their sea turtle monitoring nets. Today we will learn more about the gray whales, their incredible migration, and the importance of Magdalena Bay for breeding and calving to these magnificent creatures. We will head out in pangas (outboard skiffs) to look for gray whales. Friendly whales often approach the boats, and the mothers are known to push the young calves closer, which can make for an incredible interaction between two species.

Meals included today: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Gray Whale mothers bring their calves to the boat for species to species interaction.
