Amazing experience!!! Would do it daily! - This is a must do! Please remember you are dealing with wildlife and may not get to touch the whales, but you WILL see them! This group WILL bring you to the magical creatures! Suzannah was amazing and very knowledgeable. She helped us with other things we will enjoy doing as well. The town is 2 hours away and the ride to the whales was about 25 mins from the town. It includes a lunch at the local restaurant which was super authentic. I also loved that the captain would not block the whales in with other boats and make it feel like a petting zoo. Give them their peace

Amazing tour - Amazing experience! It was so easy to book the tour and communicate with the staff. They picked me up at the exact time they aligned with me the previous night and were so friendly begging to end, giving all information about safety and the whales nature. During the warching our guide and our capitan were really engaged into findind the best spots and less crowded ones. Highly recommend to book with Baja Whales! My only recommendation is to bring the exact amount for payment and some coins to pay the toilet along the way.

Unforgettable tour at 2h from La Paz - Wonderful tour of whale observation. Pamela, our guide, picked us up at the hotel with a comfortable van and provided breakfast. Her mother, very friendly, also accompanied us. The information submitted the day before was clear and accurate. The tour itself was excellent, we could see many whales! It was possible to note Pamela's extensive knowledge of the subject. She and our sailor Hugo were very kind and did everything to help my girlfriend with an emergency. I highly recommend!

Great guide, good whale watching - Picked up on time. Susanna was our guide, she was excellent and provided some great information about the whales and the area, she also provided some great sandwiches as a snack during the drive. Our van driver was also excellent and super friendly. We saw lots of Gray Whales, several pods of dolphins and a couple Sea Lions. Lunch was also provided which was nice. The 2 hour drive each way is long, but worth it, we actually did this trip the week before as well! Highly recommended!

Not worth the money - On the site that we booked, they gave very little information about the excursion. With misgivings, we signed up anyway. It turned out to be a two hour drive there and then we were on the ocean for about 2 1/2 hours trying to find some gray whales and they were quite a few in the water but we couldn’t see any of them. We only saw two noses pulled up out of the water and we saw the back ofsome of the whales. It was a very boring experience. And then we had another 2 Hour drive back home. As far as I am concerned, it was a waste of money and a waste of time. Pamela, who was our guide, was terrific though.
