WHALE SEASON 2024

As of March 12th 2024 both Blue Whales on the Sea of Cortez and Grey Whales in Magdalena Bay are scarce. We are still operating tours for folks who'd like to try and see what they can see on the tour. Both trips are amazing and full of wildlife, but Blue Whales and Grey Whales are not guaranteed.

Popular Winter Tours in Loreto, B.C.S.

Yes we do have winter in Mexico. Nortes "Northerly" winds can blow for periods of 2-3 days followed by 3-5 days of calm. Be sure to let us know your available days so we can send you out on the best weather day. We provide full 3 mil wet suits for folks who would like to jump in the water with the Sea lions and island tours are also great opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing. Hiking tours and Cultural inland tours are also wonderful winter activities to enjoy. We've got lots of inland "plan B's" as well.
