After the sighting, a regional lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to La Paz.

Questions about this tour

How long is the drive to Puerto Chale?

About two hours from La Paz in an air-conditioned van. That is why we leave at 7:00 am and the tour takes the day.

Can I touch a whale?

We never seek contact. Whales do approach the boat on their own and sometimes let people touch them; chasing them or forcing the encounter is not allowed.

What if the sea does not allow us out?

The itinerary is subject to weather and sea conditions. If we cannot sail we reschedule or refund you.
