Small-group gray whale adventure from La Paz to Puerto Chale: 2-hour panga with marine biologist for close respectful sightings + birds & dolphins, mangrove cruise, seaside restaurant lunch, hotel pickup, drinks and A/C transport included.
Head out from La Paz on a small-group day trip to the serene Gray Whale National Park in Puerto Chale, where these gentle giants come to breed and nurse their calves in shallow, protected waters.
Your marine biologist guide leads the way, sharing the latest insights on gray whale behavior and conservation while you spend two relaxed hours observing mothers with newborns, tail slaps, and spouts rising from the calm lagoon—often so close you can hear their breaths. Cruise through mangrove channels by panga boat, spotting birds and dolphins along the way, then refuel at a local restaurant with a hearty meal.
This 7–8 hour adventure includes hotel pickup/drop-off in La Paz, air-conditioned transport, bottled water/soda, coffee/tea, lunch, and the expert guidance that makes every sighting meaningful.
Real talk: gray whales are curious and approachable here, but sightings depend on nature—success rates are high in season (January–March peak).
Small groups (max 36) keep it personal; book early for the best dates.
Here's practical advice to help your gray whale day go well, based on common experiences with weather, sightings, and comfort. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.
Common issues. Seas can be wavy in the open water—guests prone to motion sickness took meds. Not wheelchair accessible—boat and trails. Weather rarely cancels; dress in layers.
High likelihood January–March, but no guarantee. Guides use local knowledge to maximize sightings. Past guests saw multiple mothers and calves most trips—gentle and close.
Mangrove channels are calm; open water can be wavy. Guests recommended meds if prone; panga boats are stable.
Yes for children who handle boat motion and cold. Families said kids loved the whales and lunch, but supervise closely.
Limited—local lunch usually includes fish/meat. Notify early for adjustments. Guests found snacks and drinks sufficient.
Open panga gives great angles—bring a good zoom lens or phone with stabilizer. Crew pauses for shots when whales surface.
Small-group, marine biologist guide, and lunch included. Past guests preferred the educational focus and intimate feel over larger or noisier boats.
