Return

Welcome to the best whale watching!!, we will leave the city of La Paz to head to one of the most important shelter sites for the gray whale, where in addition to meeting one of the giants of the sea we will also have the opportunity to observe birds and dolphins.

Once we arrive at the port we will board a boat that will take us along the mangrove path until we reach the sighting area where we will stay for two hours watching the gray whale.

It is important to remember that we do NOT harass whales, our work to protect the species has characterized us for years, this makes the trip unique and special!

When you return to port we will offer you food in one of the local restaurants, there we will stay about 11⁄2 hours.

At the end of your food we will board transportation to return to the City of Peace where we will drop you off at the point where we picked you up.

It is important to mention that throughout the time they will have a guide who will provide information.
