Incredible Experience!! - My partner, our little son of almost 3 years and I had the amazing opportunity to live up close to the gray whale watching in Bahía Magdalena, and it was magical! We not only manage to see them, but also touch and observe them from a very close perspective, a unique and exciting experience that will remain in our hearts forever. Andrea, our guide, and Omar, the captain, were super attentive, friendly and very respectful to the whales. They shared valuable and well-documented information that made the tour much more enriching. The passion and respect they have for whales is evident and is transmitted at all times. If you are looking for an authentic and well-organized experience (thanks Karen for all your help and attention), with a team that prioritizes care and respect for nature, do not hesitate to choose MTA. We recommend it 100%!
