Imagine leaning over the side of a small boat, eye to eye with a 40-ton gray whale. Then heading back to your cozy luxury tent at our eco-friendly camp.

It’s been happening for decades, but it still feels like magic every time. Our camp sits on the edge of the ocean, backed by desert sierras, inside the stunning El Vizcaíno

The friendly whales of San Ignacio lagoon having a little fun with us. 💦 It was so incredible to meet these special whales that would come up to the boat and just sit there waiting for an interaction. They enjoyed when we would splash the water & sometimes they would splash back! It felt like we were actually playing with the whales & an interaction like this shows a deeper connection to the animals than we ever thought possible.

Why do Gray Whales love to visit San Ignacio Lagoon? They love to visit these lagoons year after year because they are shallow and relatively warm - compared to the cold waters of the Arctic-. The mom whales come down to give birth when they are pregnant, but also the ones that are not giving birth are going to breed and mate with whale males. Also, they feel secure in these lagoons because their shallow depth keeps them safe from one of their greatest natural predators, Orcas. Discover with us

At San Ignacio Lagoon, gray whales sometimes choose to approach people. This curious behavior dates back to the days when local fishermen first formed bonds with the whales. Any interactions are always initiated by the whales themselves. They are never chased, fed, or coerced, and if they decide to keep their distance, we simply observe. Whale watching here follows strict rules. Only licensed boats are allowed in a designated area, the number of visitors is limited, and the entire zone is closel
