In the evening, enjoy cocktail hour and watch the sunset around one of our fire pits, followed by dinner and a presentation by one of our naturalists.

Days 6-7 – San Ignacio Lagoon Gray Whales

All operators in the lagoon work together to maximize guest experience while ensuring no negative impact on the whales. For this reason, all whale encounters are in a small defined area of the lagoon with pangas taking turns entering the restricted area for a maximum of 90 minutes. The timing on this is worked out between the operators which means that we abide by scheduled departure times. For this reason, unfortunately, we can’t just send a panga out to go whale watching whenever our guests want.

Option 1:
7 am breakfast after watching the sunrise over the sierras and then head out at 7:45 am for several whale watching encounters.

Option 2:
Sleep in and relax. Breakfast when you are ready. Option for 9:45 am because that is the time we can meet the groups in the beach break. The second round is around 10 to 10:30 am, depending on the availability in the area for whale watching, and then back to camp for lunch. One more whale watching encounter at 2 pm.

After lunch, enjoy another whale-watching encounter in the afternoon. Or as long as the weather cooperates, enjoy kayaking or paddleboarding in the mangroves at the north of the lagoon, or a leisurely walk, visit a local village to experience and learn about their turtle conservation efforts, mountain biking, hiking, and bird watching with one of our naturalists or just kicking back, and relax at camp. In the evening, enjoy cocktail hour, sunset viewing, making new friends around one of our fire pits, a game of billiards, and an evening presentation by a naturalist are all fine ways to finish off your day in camp.

Day 8 – Return to Cabo

Early breakfast. One more whale watching encounter (always weather dependent), and then the beautiful flight back to SJD Los Cabos, arriving by 1:30 pm. If you are flying home this day, we recommend booking a return flight after 4 pm. Otherwise transfer back to SeeCreatures Cabo for more adventure!
