What To Expect

We will depart from the marina in our boat through the Loreto Bay National Marine Park until we find the whales. The Blue Whale is the largest animal in the world so we will enjoy observing them and seeing their behavior. They arrive from the north in search of warmer waters for courtship, mating and the birth of their young. Feeding on tons of krill during their stay. An amazing ride!
