What To Expect
We will depart from the marina in our boat through the Loreto Bay National Marine Park until we find the whales. The Blue Whale is the largest animal in the world so we will enjoy observing them and seeing their behavior. They arrive from the north in search of warmer waters for courtship, mating and the birth of their young. Feeding on tons of krill during their stay. An amazing ride!

Blue whale watching!

5.00Saw several blue whales, small boat, Called “panga “, only 7 guests. Great guy our captain- Artemis. He kept looking until whales showed up. Decent snack on board, but not a complete meal, water, sodas and beer provided. Water was relatively calm, much calmer than in Cabo. Great experience. They provided binoculars also. Loreto town was a great disappointment, very expensive restaurants and souvenirs, even ice cream expensive. Town seems in decay.
We had a lovely...

5.00We had a nice tour with a very nice captain who was careful to keep a distance from the whales. Right at the beginning we saw a humpback whale and afterwards we were lucky enough to observe a blue whale several times. On board were soft drinks and homemade burritos. Very good. The contact to the provider was also very nice. Due to strong winds our original tour had to be cancelled, but they did everything that we could go out the next day.
Great Experience

5.00The main goal of the tour was to see blue whales. We had perfect weather and after half an hour we saw the first blue whales in front of us. We saw the whale fin about 5 times before diving. Blue whales are just huge and it was a personal highlight to see these majestic animals so close. The tour is certainly more expensive than other tours, but we were alone on the boat. Our captain was very relaxed.
Our best excursion in Loreto!

5.00We had confused the date. With a half hour we were underway with an excellent captain who worked well with other boats to provide a great experience.
Wonderful.

5.00Amazing experience- the team were charming, efficient and knowledgeable, and their passive, gentle app enabled us to be in exacted right spot to see blue whales at very close proximity. Gracias - it was an extraordinary opportunity. And fun that some humpbacks came to wave goodbye as we headed for home!

5.00Captain Daniel made this a wonderful experience! Initially we experienced a pod of dolphins as we were leaving the marina. Then headed south to find several humpback whales. Once around the bend of Island Carmen, a blue whale was spotted. We followed the blue whale for a mile plus.. watching it swim along the coastline and to feed. Shortly afterwards we discovered a pod of Orcas. I think we spent close to 30-35 minutes with the orcas. Captain Daniel even had them riding along side the boat like a little game. What a wonderful way to end the trip. I highly recommend Blue Whale watching in Loreto for whale watching. We had a great time!
Worth doing!

5.00Was a really fun outing. Easy to locate the meeting spot, had a great captain and we saw both humpbacks and blue whales. He was very persistent in making sure we were near where the blue whale kept surfacing and we saw them (it?) several times. Weather was cool and cloudy which I would imagine makes it harder to spot them. But we did and it was really something to see!
