San Ignacio
About the Experience
3 Nights/ 4 days
Every spring, whales enter the remote, quiet saltwater lagoons of Baja, Mexico, to mate and birth—particularly, San Ignacio, the sole remaining pristine lagoon free from development. The whales of San Ignacio are uniquely curious and interactive, and you will enjoy up-close, intimate encounters with these gentle giants and their babies, three or four whale-watching sessions each day.
