Overview
Experience one of the most incredible close up wildlife
encounters on the planet with the friendly gray whales of
Magdalena Bay.
Located on Baja’s Pacific Coast, Magdalena Bay is a world
renowned winter nursery grounds of the California gray whale.
Late December through mid March, hundreds of gray whales
mate and bear their young in these protected waters after
traveling over 5000 miles from the Bering Strait.
The gray whale calving lagoons gained acclaim in the early 1970s
when a gray whale made contact with a local fisherman, allowing him to
pat her head. Word spread of this remarkable occurrence both among the
fishermen and apparently among the gray whales, who now eagerly approach
whale watching boats and interact freely with guests on board.
