"We were a little apprehensive booking a trip coming all the way from Ireland, but once we met up with Baja Airventures in San Diego and then on to see the Grey Whales in Baja, this turned out to be the best trip we’ve ever taken, and that’s saying a lot!"

John Steinbeck's "Galapagos of Mexico" on the Sea of Cortez

Friendly Grey Whale Tours

It is no wonder that John Steinbeck called this area of Baja, the Galapagos of Mexico. The Sonoran desert and clear blue waters surrounding Las Animas near Bahia de Los Angeles (Bay of the Angels) offer a wide variety of diverse habitats and abundant food supply. You'll participate in one of the most spectacular collection of plants, marine mammals and birds found anywhere in the world. 23 species of whales and dolphins, including the largest whales in the world, the Fin and Blue whales have been sighted in Canal de Los Baenes (whale canal), just east of Las Animas. 120 species of cactus, 800 species of fish and the largest concentration of seabirds found anywhere in the Sea of Cortez are yours to discover.
