Adventures
San Ignacio Lagoon
Baja is the only place in the world where gray whales swim up to pangas to be stroked, petted, kissed, and even hugged. It’s incredible. Interaction is entirely on the whales’ terms, with mama whales even pushing their calves against the side of the boats to be stroked. Nobody should miss out on this experience.
Sea of Cortez
Discover the world’s aquarium, the Sea of Cortez. A variety of majestic marine animals like whales, dolphins, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, bull sharks, sea turtles, gigantic manta rays, sea lions, and even orcas live in the sea of cortez, one of the world’s most biologically rich bodies of water.
Magdalena Bay
Every fall, the waters around Magdalena Bay teem with life when the sardine run draws in predators from seabirds to sharks, sea lions, whales, dolphins and the world’s fastest fish, the striped marlin (Kajikia audax). This is an unforgettable experience for snorkelers, divers and free-divers.
Isla Espiritu Santo
Stunning beaches and the beautiful Sea of Cortez meet on the shore of Espiritu Santo, which is delightfully pristine and off-the-grid despite being only 18 miles north of La Paz. Tim Means, the founder of Baja Expeditions, saved this island from commercial exploitation by raising the funds to buy the island from the developers and arranging for its donation to the people of Mexico as a national park.
Kayaking & Paddle Boarding
Mothership kayaking. Ahhhhhh… Does it get any better? Baja Expeditions pioneered mothership kayaking in the Sea of Cortez 40 years ago with the idea of providing a level of safety and comfort vastly different from self guided paddling. New to paddling? Or a tad concerned about your strength? No problem!
Whale Shark
In the warm, crystal-clear waters just minutes from La Paz lies one of the most intact ecosystems in the world. Get ready to be inspired! Near El Mogote’s sand spit, the outer bay serves as a whale shark nursery and here you will be able to observe and swim with the biggest fish in the ocean!

First-Class Experience for Divers of All Skill Levels
The Gallant Lady by Nautilus is a beautifully well-appointed ship built to provide a best in class live aboard SCUBA diving experience for an intimate number of guests. She holds only 12 divers but on the trip I was booked on, there were only six divers in the group! -
Magical
It was clear that the staff cared for this region, the whales, and the people who have come to share them. -
Life-Changing Experience
These magnificent creatures chose to come to us. The guides were very professional and never crowded them, they would get close enough for them to approach us if they chose. As well, the guides were a wealth of information and history. -
Fabulous, Soul Touching Experience.
Baja Expeditions whale watching in the San Ignacio Lagoon was an outstanding trip in all facets. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. The whale-watching experiences were absolutely amazing. The accommodations were fabulous right down to the hot water bottles wrapped in fleece that was given to us each night after dinner to tuck into our beds. The meals were excellent. -

Interaction with whales beyond words. Loved it. thank you to all staff at the camp as well.
