The combination trip is now our most popular whale watching trip.  There are many reasons for this.  First of course is the opportunity to see and probably get close to the largest animal on Earth.  Second is the great interaction and close encounters we experience with the gray whales.  Third is that the longer trip gives you a chance to see both sides of the Baja Peninsula.  For birders this is a great opportunity because there are many different birds between the two sides of the Peninsula.  The Sea of Cortez is usually warm, but may be cool at this time of year.

Itinerary

Day #1: The group members arrive in Loreto today. We meet your plane and make the transfer to the El Dorado Hotel. The group usually meets for an informal discussion about the coming 9 days around 5:00 PM and then we go to dinner at 6:00 PM. (D)

Day #2: Whale watching for Blue whales off the coast of Loreto. Breakfast at 7:00 a.m. and we arrive at the dock around 8:00 a.m. Since we are only a couple blocks from the dock, most group members generally walk, but we can provide transportation in the morning if needed. Today we whale watch until lunch. We expect to stop for lunch on a small island around 1:00 p.m. and return to the dock following lunch. (B, L, D)
