Whale of a Tale
Both Sides of Magical Baja California Sur:
During winter, this nature enthusiast site is a place unlike any other; when it’s colder up north, we are perfectly situated to experience the best nature that the world has to offer: whales, pelagic fish, whale sharks, sea lions, dolphins, and more. Join us where the desert meets the sea!
- Professional boat captains, crew, and staff who have been running these trips for over 20 years.
- Air-Conditioned, ocean view casitas at our resort and our rugged outpost on Magdalena Bay Island, right in the action.
- These trips are a perfect bonding experience for groups of 4-8 people. Safe, fun, and a unique experience in nature unlike any other.
- Experience pays off! Magdalena Bay is far off the beaten path, and a sought after destination. We make this drive weekly!
Stay in comfort at our ocean adventure resort
We are uniquely located in La Ventana, right in the action. Enjoy meals prepared by the on-site restaurant.
Your first and final nights are at our traditional Mexican resort on the Sea of Cortez – or extend your stay and experience all the rustic Southern Baja has to offer.
And off the beaten path at our outpost
Magdalena Bay, of the most secluded destinations for whale watching, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s also the site of one of the most robust gray whale breeding lagoons on Earth. It’s not uncommon to see mother whales and their calves – and cry tears of joy.

As a boat captain myself, I was blown away by the professionalism of our panga captains. We safely approached each area and waited for the whales to come to us.
