Whale Watching in Mexico

The sight of whales frolic playing or cavorting or even just plainly swimming in the waters never fails to evoke a sense of admiration and marvel. The gray whales leave the winter waters of Northern Bering and go to the Sea of Cortez every year during fall to give birth and feast on the bountiful food in the tropical waters of the Pacific. The best place in Mexico to watch these huge but gentle whales with their calves is Magdalena Bay just off the coast of Los Cabos. Although San Ignacio is more famous for whale watching, there is a higher chance of seeing whales in Los Cabos than any other place in Baja during the whale season from end of December to end of March. Whale watching tours make sure strict rules and guidelines are followed in order to ensure that the whales are not harmed. When planning your Mexico vacation, dont fail to include whale watching in your itinerary.
