Location of Adventure

San Ignacio Lagoon, Mexico

Group Size Limit

Approximately 20 Travelers
A very important feature of our whale watching tours is the limited group size, as nature is best experienced with a small group of travelers. On this eco-travel adventure, we have exclusive use of our private camp, which holds just 20 guests. We divide our group into smaller numbers for whale-watching excursions, with each boat generally accommodating 6 to 8 guests.

Physical Requirements

Easy / Flexible
Our Whales of Baja adventure is not strenuous and does not require a high degree of physical fitness. You will, however, have to walk up and down stairs, wade through shallow water to step in and out of skiffs and sit on bench seats for long periods of time while whale watching.  Also, optional hikes will be available. In addition, depending on weather conditions, boat excursions to the whales can be bumpy and wet.

All activities are completely optional, and travelers should only participate in those activities with which they feel comfortable. If you are concerned with your own personal physical capabilities, please contact our office for further details on the exact physical requirements of this particular itinerary, in addition to your own physician for his or her opinion.
