Overview

Prepare for an extraordinary day in Puerto Chale, a charming fishing village in Magdalena Bay, known for hosting hundreds of gray whales each winter as they give birth, mate, and take a respite.

Embark on our specially designed boat, limited to just 10 guests, as we navigate these welcoming waters. I, your guide and marine biologist, am proficient in English, French, and Spanish. Throughout the journey, I will provide insightful narratives about why these whales find sanctuary in this locale.

Rest assured, transportation logistics are seamlessly handled. As a dedicated marine biologist with a profound passion for the peninsula, this isn't merely a whale-watching expedition; it's an immersive experience into the family life of these incredible creatures. Join me for a day of relaxed yet enriching adventure, where stories unfold against the backdrop of Puerto Chale's beauty and the magnificence of its gray whales. Ready to craft indelible memories?
