Best of Baja’s Whales, Dolphins & Sea Lions Tour
Whale, Dolphin & Sea Lions Six Day Combo Trip
Your Baja whale watching trip with Baja Airventures begins with two and a half days exploring the famous Scammon’s Lagoon (Ojo de Libre) located on the Pacific Ocean. You’ll experience California Gray whales as they move along their annual migration route, first with a local guide by boat, and then by air. The combination of air and sea viewing is something no other whale watching operator in Baja is able to offer. In fact, the opportunity to view these creatures with a birds eye view is a rarity in itself.
You will revel in up-close encounters with inquisitive young calves and mischievous, yet mindful adult whales. A short, scenic flight will then carry you over the peninsula to the Las Animas Wilderness Ecolodge, found on the Sea of Cortez. The remainder of the trip to Las Animas is by boat. There you’ll enjoy four more days of fun, exploration, and relaxation. Fantastic food, superior accommodations, attentive staff, endless natural wonders and certain relaxation will all meet you there.
