San Ignacio Gray Whale Experience

Available from January to March only.

The San Ignacio Lagoon Gray Whale Experience offers a unique opportunity to have up-close and personal interactions with Pacific gray whales in their breeding and birthing lagoon. These gray whales are known to be the friendliest on the planet and exhibit behaviors such as swimming over to the boats (pangas) to be caressed, stroked, and even kissed. They may also roll onto their backs to allow visitors to scratch their bellies. 

The experience is entirely on the whales' terms, and even mother whales may push their babies up against the boats for human interaction. The first whale interaction at San Ignacio Lagoon occurred in 1972, and since then, the experience just continues to get more magical each year. You can also expect to see not only gray whales but also a variety of bird species, including nesting ospreys and egrets, during your visit to the San Ignacio Lagoon.

Magdalena Bay Striped Marlin Sardine Run

Available during November only.

The Magdalena Bay Striped Marlin Sardine Run is one of the Pacific’s most electrifying marine spectacles. Each November, guests have the rare chance to witness striped marlin, sea lions, dolphins, and mobula rays hunting massive sardine bait balls in shallow, clear waters—ideal for intimate, surface-level encounters. Fast-paced and dynamic, the action unfolds while snorkeling from small pangas, offering thrilling, up-close views without the need for scuba gear. 

Set in the remote fishing village of San Carlos, this experience is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike. With no tanks, deep dives, or long boat rides required, guests are immersed in nature’s raw drama, just inches away from the marlin’s shimmering charge.
