Blue Whale Watching Tours in the Loreto National Marine Park
Whale-watching tours from Loreto are a world-class experience. Calm (hopefully) seas and all around the sound of these giants breathing. Every Spring, the Loreto National Marine Park hosts the most giant creatures on earth, Blue Whales. This tour also sees Fin Whales, Humpbacks, dolphins, mantas, and other wildlife. We provide tours on traditional Mexican pangas with new motors, radios, shade, and dry storage. Boats are permitted to take anywhere from 7-19 passengers

Safety First
All of our boats are fully permitted to operate in Mexican waters and the National Marine Park. For the last 11 years, we have acquired our Whale Watching Permits from CONAP. Each boat is equipped with: life jackets, radios, emergency beacons, New 4-stroke motors, professional captain.
Wildlife Viewing
Along with seeing the largest creatures on earth, we also may see Fin Whales, Humpbacks, dolphins, mantas and other wildlife on this tour.
Lunch included
No "box lunch" here! Freshly prepared Mexican specialties (ex: Burritos, Empanadas, or Tamales), fresh veggies, and fruit. We can accommodate dietary restrictions and most requests with ample notification.
Logistics
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.

Sunscreen, Sunglasses, extra snacks, Camera, batteries, and warm layers. All Boats have shade and dry storage on board.
Tour Includes
Food, drinks, necessary equipment. Not included: gratuity to captain or guide, National Marine Park entry fees ($5 USD) can be purchased in cash at our office or at the Marina.
Trip Itinerary
Tours begin early to take advantage of low light angles (easier to see spouts) and smooth water.
A WORD ON DRONES AND WHALE WATCHING
It is AMAZING the footage a drone can take of whales. Scientists have gained so much information (learn about the “snot bot” here) without molesting these beautiful creatures. Who drones do bother are 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 NOT allowed to fly drones within the Marine Park without permission. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
