I’ve Heard of Kissing Frogs, but Kissing Whales?With a Whale Watching Trip to Baja, It’s Possible to Get Just That Close!
October 13th 2011
The Baja Peninsula is the last stop on the longest migration that any mammal in the world takes. The Grey Whale, which can grow to be about 50 feet long and 50-70 years old, takes part in an annual migration from the frigid waters of the Bering Sea in Alaska to the warm waters of the Baja Peninsula.The trek is over 8,000 kilometres (5,000 miles) long and the whales swim about 120 kilometres (75 miles) a day. On a trip like this, whales typically travel in groups of smaller numbers but about 20,000 animals make the migration every year. Although the Peninsula serves as their birthing lagoons, where one might expect them to be somewhat protective, they are actually quite social. They can often be seen pushing their young calves towards the surface, possibly even to make friends with a traveller on a boat passing through! The best opportunities to see grey whales is in the Baja Peninsula, and our trip is perfect to see the whales by boat; our trip trip has the added bonuses of allowing you to explore the area by kayak, hiking the open desert, snorkel with sea lions, and enjoying time on a chic eco-lodge.See for yourself!
