Gray Whale Census: Feb. 22, 2011

March 5, 2011June 5, 2025 Johnny Friday

"Our experience could not have been improved upon in any way, shape, or form. Every aspect of Campo Cortez is wonderful and managed perfectly by a superb staff accompanied by delicious food. The whales, ah, the whales...communing with them, especially the 'friendlies', was an experience of a lifetime. I've been twice and already can't wait to return!!"
