Camp Cecil de la Bahia / Humpback Whales, Fishing, Kayaking and Birds Adventure!
Today we'll drive 3 hours north to Magdalena Bay and our luxury tent camp, Camp Cecil de la Bahia. Nestled on the edge of one of the most biologically rich bays on the planet, Camp Cecil de la Bahía is a dreamy, wild, and utterly remote base camp from which to enjoy four unforgettable days and three magical nights immersed in the spectacular wildlife and untamed beauty of Baja. The tents of Camp Cecil de la Bahia are beautifully appointed walk-in safari-style tents with gorgeous beds, seating areas, rugs, chandeliers, and ensuite bathrooms. The camp chef prepares three beautiful meals a day and daily happy hour.
December and January are especially thrilling times in the bay and surrounding area as it's possible to witness humpback whales lunging and breaching in the cobalt-blue waters. It is a true wonder to watch these gentle giants breach and roll and spy-hop, putting on a show that no screen can prepare you for. Meanwhile playful pods of bottlenose dolphins often race the boat's bow as we check in with our California sea lion neighbors who seem to delight in our company as much as we delight in theirs.
From the camp you can glide silently through a cathedral of ancient mangroves where great blue herons, ospreys, pelicans, frigatebirds and more keep watch as paddlers venture deeper into one of Baja's most treasured coastal ecosystems. An expert naturalist guide brings it all to life with the stories of plants, birds, and creatures that depend on these critical nursery waters.
And for those who want to test their luck against Magdalena Bay's legendary fishing grounds — grab a rod and head out with our knowledgeable local fishing captains. Yellowtail, grouper, snapper, and the occasional roosterfish are all in play.
Baja doesn't get more wild, more alive, or more beautiful than this.
