Picked up on time in La Paz for the approximately 2 hr drive to the dock . The trip from the dock to the whale encounter area was about 30 minutes. We saw at least 50 whales, some of which, we had direct interaction.

Looking for an experience you'll never forget? Don't miss this whale watching tour in Magdalena Bay - you'll see these majestic creatures from just a few meters away!

Magdalena Bay Whale Watching

Between 8 and 9 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in La Paz. From there, we'll hit the road for Magdalena Bay, where you'll have the opportunity to admire the fascinating gray whales closer than ever before.

We'll head to the coast and board a boat to go in search of these immense marine mammals. As we cruise along the water waiting for the whales to join us, we'll check out the dunes, mangroves and endemic birds of the area.

Be sure to keep an eye out! Whales will begin to surface at any moment. Did you know that adult cetaceans can weigh up to 35 tonnes (over 77,100 lb)? Even with this exorbitant weight, you'll see how the whales move gracefully through the water and have fun doing amazing acrobatics!

After marveling at these magnificent creatures, we'll disembark and head to La Paz to enjoy a typical lunch at a local restaurant. Then, we'll take you back to your hotel, arriving between 7 and 8 pm.

Such enthusiasm our group shared in seeing so many whales in Magdalena Bay! We were picked up at our hotels and transported to Magdalena Bay. Besides the driver, we had an excellent guide, a marine biologist, who managed all the arrangements and told us about the whales and the area. Afterwards we ate at a restaurant at the same locale where the boats launched and then went , all in a timely manner.

I understand that the whale watching experiience has a lot to do with the weather and time of year, but we hit it right on and saw so many whales! Our guide, boat and van drivers were very good. Our guide was friendly and informative, the van driver was responsible and safe and the boat driver was responsible to the whales and other boats and knew all the places to take us to. The meal after was delicious. Highly recommended tour!
