About this tour
One of the great wildlife moments in Baja California Sur: the gray whale migration at Puerto Chale. We pick you up early in La Paz and on the way you have a regional box-lunch breakfast — burritos, tamales, fruit and local coffee. At the port you board a traditional boat with a local captain and head into the bay, where whales and their calves often come very close. 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.
