Reviews for Baja whale watching safari in Mexico

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Viewing the grey whales. Hoping my tent would stay up in the fierce wind & being relieved when it did. Lovely coastal scenery on drive south to departure port2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
I was disappointed not to have the close personal encounter with the gray whales as per do much video footage. This happens mainly with mothers & older babies. None of these. Whales are arriving later on the year possibly due to global warming. This allows the whales to stay north longer (same for the blue whales near Loreto). Optimum season may now be March. I have suggested to the operator that they offer the option to book own hotel on Loreto on first & last day of tour. Hotel la Mision is a characterless tourist class hotel, albeit facing the water, & noisy round the pool/bar area. There are some lovely nearby options eg Posada de la Flo pores (gorgeous) or Posada del Cortes. Don't expect glamping. It isn't. Toilet arrangements aren't lovely. Food excellent. Guides excellent, informed & interesting.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes very much so. Guides very aware of this4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Memorable but sadly not for the reasons of close whale encounters. Don't go thinking gray whale close encounters will necessarily happen.Read the operator's response here:
