Observe the magnificent Blue Whale on the Sea of Cortez from Loreto B.C.S.
Whale watching tours from Loreto is a world class experience. Calm (hopefully) seas, and all around the sound of these giants breathing. Every Spring the Loreto National Marine Park is host to Blue Whales, the largest creatures on earth. We also see Fin Whales, Humpbacks, dolphins, mantas and other wildlife on this tour. We provide our tours on traditional Mexican pangas with new motors, radios, shade and dry storage. Boats hold anywhere from 6 to 14 folks.
UPDATE MARCH 15, 2022
Our daily trips are still enjoying wonderful Blue Whale, Fin Whale, and Humpback Whale sitings. Please see our special end of season pricing.
All of our boats are fully permitted to operate in Mexican waters as well as the National Marine Park. Every year for the last 11 years we have aquired our Whale Watching Permits from CONAP. Each boat is equip with: life jackets, radios, emergency beacons, New 4 stroke motors, professional captain.
Along with seeing the largest creatures on earth, we also may see Fin Whales, Humpbacks, dolphins, mantas and other wildlife on this tour.
No "box lunch" here! Freshly prepared Mexican specialties (ex: Burritos, Empenadas, or Tamales), fresh veggies, fruit, cheese, and corn tortillas for the gluten free. Vegetarians Welcome.
Each year the whales "settle" in a different part of the park. Sometimes to the North, and sometimes to the South. When you know the dates and have made your booking we'll be in touch and once your trip is close we can let you know where the best place to leave from is and what logistics that entails. Either meeting here in Loreto or down South in Puerto Escondido. Thank you for your understanding.
Tours begin early to take advantage of low light angles (easier to see spouts) and smooth water.
Hat, sunglasses, camera, batteries, sunscreen and layers. Mornings start cool, but afternoons warm up.
It is AMAZING the footage a drone can take of whales. Scientist have gained so much information (see “snot bot” video here) and without molesting these beautiful creatures. Who they do bother is folks on other boats who have come from all over the world to witness these amazing creatures. If you have a drone you MUST advise us ahead of time. We are happy to find a solo whale with no observers so as not to bother other whale watchers. We are NOT permitted to fly drones within the Marine Park. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
