San Ignacio Lagoon Gray Whale Tour Options
Meet 40-ton Gray Whales up close and personal as they make their annual migration to Baja, Mexico’s last remote and untamed breeding lagoon. San Ignacio Lagoon offers the most amazing of whale watching encounters on the planet. Mother Gray Whales give birth to fifteen foot long Gray Whale Calves and proudly show off their newborns to visitors on our boats only in the safety of the Gray Whale breeding lagoon. This behavior has been a growing and natural encounter at San Ignacio Lagoon and is one of those life changing experiences that planet earth has to offer.
Our remotely located solar-powered Ecolodge offers spectacular views of San Ignacio Lagoon from comfortable beach-front cabins at one of the lagoon’s remotest and scenic locations. We offer our own fleet of whale watching boats, and a local year-round resident staff that are some of the most knowledgeable caring residents that have a deep wealth of knowledge of the flora and fauna of this special region known as the Vizcaino Reserve.
