Discover the Friendly Gray Whales! A recent trip south to the Kuyimá Camp to see the Gray Whales deliver their new calves to the sea and breed yielded a very special and unique adventure. The road to the San Ignacio Lagoon, perhaps the most pristine whale sanctuary on the planet, winds down the Baja peninsula through many different terrain and foliage contrasts. One minute you will be skirting the sea, and an hour later in the midst of the desert. The Baja Trans-peninsular highway is paved and in good repair for the 400 miles that you will travel to the little ciudad of San Ignacio. The last 38 miles to the Kuyimá Camp is a typical Baja dirt washboard path, kept up properly as this is an important tourist trail to see the gray whales in their indigenous environment. The whales annually make the trek from Alaska to Baja during the months of December to mid- April. April and May they can be seen off the coast heading back north to Alaska for the warm summer months before the cycle repeats itself in the winter. They seek the lagoons for protection while they are enabling the newly born calves to grow strong for the trip north. The lagoons are strictly protected by the Mexican authorities and any panga that enters the restricted whale occupied zone is counted, documented, and allowed only a 90 minute span of time to approach the whales up close and personal. The whales can be seen getting really frisky, 3 males may be observed courting a single female, and that process is ...

Whale Watching - in San Ignacio Lagoon, California Baja Sur, Mexico, in March 2008. These are wild animals, and they are not being bribed to come to the boat, yet the calf of this 35 ton Gray whale comes, of its own free will, and enjoys being touched, stroked and even kissed. This is the only area in the world where whales behave in this way. They stay for around three months to breed or calve and and then return to Arctic waters.

This is a video of our friendly Grey Whale encounter in San Ignacio lagoon, which is situated on the pacific side of Baja California in Mexico. The friendly whale behavior is taught by the mothers to their calfs and began in this lagoon as a unique behavior in the 1980s. Only recently has the behavior been observed in other lagoons by calves (now grown up) who learned it in San Ignacio. I took this video on March 13th 2011 around noon from locally provided (and government mandated) skiffs. Our base of operations is the Searcher which is anchored a mile or two away. The lagoon itself is over 15 miles across and requires negotiating large breakers to get into it. Ships larger than the Searcher (a 95 foot fishing boat) cannot get in. The Mexican government limits the number of Pangas that can be operating in the lagoon at any given moment and essentially disallows any non-pangas chasing of the whales. Many of the Pangas drivers have been here for years and are able to recognize specific whales from prior years. This arrangement provides an economic incentive for the locals to preserve the area. The panga drivers are very careful not to disturb the whales. The whales must choose to approach the boat, not the other way around. If a whale is not interested the drivers do not press the matter. Only a portion of the lagoon is open to boat traffic. The whales get most of the lagoon for themselves without human interference. In addition, the drivers recognize specific behaviors ...
