Baja’s Gentle Giants: The 2026 Whale Watching Season

By 2026, the Baja Gray whale watching (Magdalena Bay and San Ignacio) will still be the most important habitat of pacific gray whales in the entire world. These amiable giants travel the entire 12,000 miles during the prime winter months (January-April) to be able to mate and give birth in the warm, sheltered waters of Mexico. Eco-tours are now using local pangas (small boats) to have ethical and whale-initiated engagements with the whales where mothers often nudge their inquisitive calves towards the visitors in their natural nursery in an attempt to have the life-changing close encounter. https://greywhale.com/grey- ...
