Gray Whale Watching

Service Description

Experience one of the most moving experiences in global ecotourism: watching gray whales in their natural habitat. Every year, between February and March, the protected waters of Bahía Almejas, south of Magdalena Bay, become one of the most important sanctuaries for these majestic Pacific travelers. After migrating more than 10,000 kilometers from the Arctic, gray whales arrive in this region of Baja California Sur to mate and give birth. Bahía Almejas, due to its depth and tranquility, offers perfect conditions for resting and nurturing newborn calves. It is here that you have the opportunity to observe them up close, in a respectful, safe, and deeply emotional experience. During the panga tour, you will navigate through calm waters with the possibility of seeing adult whales emerging to the surface, mothers caring for their calves, and even close interactions, where some curiously approach the boats, providing unforgettable moments. Our guides, local experts with years of experience, share fascinating facts about their behavior, migration, reproduction, and the conservation efforts that protect them. In addition to the whale encounter, the tour offers unique views of the wild coastline, seabirds, sea lions, and islets that are part of the Magdalena Bay ecosystem. This activity is not only ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers, but also for those seeking a deep connection with nature. Murillos Bros Adventours operates with an approach of absolute respect for marine wildlife, following official standards for responsible and sustainable sightings, minimizing the impact on the environment, and prioritizing the well-being of the species. Recommendations: This activity is available exclusively from February to March. Bring warm clothing (mornings can be cold), a hat, sunglasses, a camera or cell phone with a battery, and biodegradable sunscreen. We guarantee you will have one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
