Each winter hundreds of gray whales travel to Baja’s protected coast to mate and bear their baby whales here, where sandy islands protect the lagoons from oceanic currents.

You may even be able to reach out from the motorized skiff to touch one of these gentle giants while they surface only a few feet away with their new-born calves ...
