8 Day Big Whale Trip Overview
During your expedition you will stay in Loreto, at a waterfront deluxe hotel and our private Ecolodge “Campo Cortez” at San Ignacio Lagoon. The trips are designed with three variations and all include three nights in Loreto and four days and nights at San Ignacio Lagoon. While at Campo Cortez you’ll experience the first-class personal service of Maldo and his family and our devoted guides as they host three full days with daily boat trips to view and interact with the Gray Whales.
During your stay in Loreto, you will get settled in at the waterfront luxurious hotel and you’ll enjoy free evenings to explore Loreto’s many delicious restaurants on your own or you can join the group for dinner. Both full days in Loreto start early with a breakfast buffet at the hotel and then a short walk across the street to load into our boats for the tour of Loreto National Marine Park. We will search for Humpbacks, Blue whales and other wildlife including Blue Footed Boobies, Sea Lions, and Dolphins. A stop on Coronado Island is a highlight, you’ll see turquoise water and dramatic lava flows. You will enjoy time to browse for shells, swim, or hike along the island. Our daily trips last from four to five hours based on theweather. Upon our return to land, the rest of the day is your free time to enjoy the hotel pool, jacuzzi, go sightseeing, kayak, walk, or go shopping.
