This morning we'll depart Todos Santos at 8:00 AM, drive about 4.5 hours to Magdalena Bay, have lunch in one of the local restaurants, then head out on the water for 3 hours of interacting with the amazing gray whale mothers, babies, young couples and sporting males. For birders, please note that the lagoons of Magdalena Bay are also a powerful magnet for a vast array of coastal birds, and you may be able to add to your bird species list as well. Terrific dinner and overnight in local hotel.
Things that often happen to us during our two-day/one-night trip in Magdalena Bay:
- Gray whale mothers bring their babies right up to the boat to say hello
- Gray whale babies present themselves for a good rub or a pat
- Gray whale males sidle along the boat and spout water on us – they clearly think it´s very funny
- Gray whale couples roll languidly by, completely ignoring us as they enjoy some Baja romance
- Gray whales of all types bring their huge heads out of the water and look us straight in the eye
This morning we’ll have breakfast, then get in three more hours of observing gazing into the eyes of the gray whales. We’ll then head back to Todos Santos with a celebratory lunch stop on the way. We generally arrive back in Todos Santos in the 5-6 PM timeframe.
