The Majestic Californian Gray Whales

Every year, the majestic Californian Gray Whales embark on an extraordinary journey. They leave the Arctic waters behind and head south to the enchanting shores of Baja California, Mexico, to give birth and breed.

Located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, Puerto Chale is an area where hundreds of Gray whales are concentrated. Because the waters of Puerto Chale are protected, the whale numbers are growing, so when you are out in the bay you can see whales in all directions.

Puerto Chale is unique as it is one of the few places in the world where you can have an extremely intimate whale watching experience.  In the calm waters of the lagoon where few boats travel, the whales are now approaching the boats to seek interaction. When you embark on our whale watching tour, expect to see lots of spy hopping and breaching behaviours. Undoubtedly, one of the most breathtaking and unforgettable wildlife encounters on our planet can be experienced in these very lagoons, where you come face to face with these incredible creatures.
