The Pacific gray whale migration from Alaska’s Bering Sea to the warm waters of Baja’s lagoons is the longest mammal migration on earth. Nearly hunted to extinction in the past, these gentle leviathans have made a dramatic comeback and today show little fear of humans. Every spring, hundreds of them return to traditional birthing and breeding grounds at sheltered San Ignacio Lagoon on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Friendly and engaging, they are often intrigued with humans, swimming right up to our boats, and our small groups can frequently approach close enough to touch them during our encounters at sea.

90%"Our family has just returned from the Baja whale watch trip. We all agreed that this was a true adventure, and a most amazing trip. The staff, both from Natural Habitat and from San Ignacio were warm, well-educated in their areas and genuinely professional in the sharing of their skills. Our guides were great companions who seemed to enjoy all the spouting and flukes and "friendlies" as much as we first-timers did. And the whales! You already know that they provide, of their own accord, a most amazing encounter."

I have done a lot of wildlife viewing in my life and I think that this was the best wildlife viewing I have ever come across. I mean, the whales came right up to the boat. It doesn't get much better than that."

100%“Our trip to Baja was a wonderful experience. While we were there our weather was perfect. I can’t say enough about our Expedition Leader. Gracious, knowledgeable, helpful, and organized are a few of the adjectives I can think of. Natural Habitat is one of the best. You were so helpful when I decided to change my plans on the tour I wanted to take. Local guides and boat drivers were outstanding. I compliment the country of Mexico for doing the right thing on the Whale Preserve and still keeping the local fishermen in mind as well as the ecology of whales. Thank you for all you do to please your guests.”
