Gray Whale Watching Camp and Tours Baja

Baja Jones Adventure Travel

Gray Whale Safari Camp

On the shore of laguna Ojo de Liebre (formerly known as Scammon's Lagoon)

Travel with Baja Jones Adventure Travel for an amazing gray whale watching experience. Enjoy our upscale safari accommodations: spacious tents, on the beach, on the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula, within view of the whales, all the things you might imagine make for a great Baja whale watching experience. You can hear the whales breathing throughout the night in Baja, then get amazingly close to the whales themselves when we head out in the boats to get you a very up close gray whale watching experience in our Baja camp.

We offer the best gray whale watching safari camp experience in our Baja trip, in the very best location for gray whale watching in Baja, Mexico, and maybe anywhere. We camp right on the shore of Laguna Ojo de Liebre (Scammon's Lagoon for those of you who have explored the history of this area) and embark on boat trips within view of whale watching camp. You can enjoy the walk along the beach or we'll drive you up to the dock to board the boats in our Baja whale watching camp. This lagoon is a favorite place for gray whales to have their babies and teach them to get their swimming rhythm. This already may sound too good to be true if you've tried gray whale watching where the whales are just swimming by. A fact that makes this trip great, the gray whales gather here (you might think of this as their winter vacation spot). Our guests have enjoyed the experience of watching baby gray whales, just after being born, learning to surface and take breaths. We watch gray whale babies come right up to our boats (as you can see in the video below), sometimes against the desires of their mothers; not to worry, when the mother is ready to move on, she guides the little one away, once she's had the chance to look around and meet inquisitive people above. The adults are often just as interested in the faces peering over the side of the boats and love the interactions as well.

Throughout your stay with us, we endeavor to make this a gray whale watching trip of a lifetime, though we do really enjoy when you join us again (or on some of our other trips, you'll see the links above under the title). For those of you who travelled with us before we established our gray whale watching safari camp, whether it was for gray whale watching in Baja, Mexico or even any of our other trips around the world, it may be time to come back, this whale watching experience is outstanding. The years it took to get this gray whale watching camp going, have been all worth it. I truly believe we have the best Baja whale watching experience yet. To book a trip now, get more information, or ask a question, click to send me an email. You'll also see a link to our schedule above, but I can also work with custom trips as well. So whether you're planning a family or group trip or checking off a bucket list item, please consider choosing us to make this trip an up close animal encounter for you.

Imagine laying on a soft comfortable bed, covered by a thick fluffy comforter, while outside, close enough you can hear them, the sleeping whales breathe gently in the night air. Listening quietly, you slip from your bed; your feet enjoy the soft rug on the floor. You shiver as the cool air surrounds you. To ward off the cold you wrap a soft hotel furnished robe around you. Stepping outside your seaside accommodation you marvel at a sky filled with millions of stars.

The Baja gray whale watching camp is quiet and dark, but the solar path lighting sets a fantasy world scene, with muted light reflecting on the lapping waves at the shore. In the distance a lonely coyote howls a call to her mate. Roosting shore birds rustle with the sound of the coyotes. A friendly kangaroo mouse skitters beneath a bush as you stroll past the large dining tent, now quiet and dark. A large and silent owl swoops past the camp, perhaps stalking that cute desert rodent.

There is no location anywhere with as many whales ready to come up close to your boat.
A typical tour includes either one or two boat trips each, depending on the specific itinerary.
Baja Jones has an unblemished perfect 20 year history of successful trips with close encounters.

At the edge of the whale watching camp grounds you pause to gaze out at the dark water, thinking about your experience earlier in the day when a mother and baby gray whale came to the side of your boat. Your dream of petting a wild whale was now reality. One of the most exciting days you have ever experienced is coming to an end. Wisely you return to your well appointed tent to get a few hours sleep before you set out to find another friendly whale.
