Loreto Bay National Marine Park

This park works to preserve Loreto's desert ecosystem.

Reviewed By Dahlyana

My husband and I recently visited Loreto, Mexico and it was a wonderful visit. We did some sight seeing on our own but also used the tour company of Wild Loreto for an all day tour to the Pacific to see the gray whales and their calves. It was awesome and our tour guide, Chalio, was wonderful. He knew when the whales were getting ready to come up and we had our cameras ready. We liked our tour to the see the whales with Chalio so much that we decided to take another tour to Coronado Island that is in the National Marine National Park in Loreto Bay in order to see more marine life! Marine life we saw in all its glory; we saw sea lions, all sorts of birds including the blue footed booby, dolphins, and had a beautiful hike on a clean and well marked trail that revealed millions of years of geologic activity. All stunning and Chalio was a wonderful guide. I hope Loreto Bay stays protected as the ecological wonder that it is.

San Ignacio Lagoon

Grey whales are known to make an appearance at this lagoon.

Reviewed By KLD101

I traveled here with Baja Ecotours, taking a chartered bus with our group of 24 from San Diego to Ensenada, then a 2.5 hour private plane to the tiny airport next to San Ignacio Lagoon where we were picked up by the staff from Camp Cortez in a school bus. Camp Cortez has wooden cabins (rather than tents found in many other camps) for guests and is a certified sustainable/green camp. Birding is good, especially osprey, and the stars at night are also amazing. Each camp has assigned times (1.5 hours each) they can have boats in the whale watching area of the lagoon, and this is pretty strictly policed. We had two trips daily, with a break for lunch for 3 days. The shoreline is desolate and water must be trucked in. High winds are common, especially at night and in the morning. Not a tropical location! I took shorts, but never wore them, and a good slicker for the boats is a must. Amazing whale encounters; lots of spyhopping, breaching, and some mating activity observed, and whales came right up to the boat for thrilling chances to see them up close and even touch the whales. We returned to San Diego the same way we arrived. A few people in our group flew to Loreto and drove from there, but it is a long drive, and pretty much you need a 4WD vehicle. The flight was expensive, but also offered spectacular views of the west coast of Baja.

Best part of our trip! We took our family of 5 including 4 adults and a teenager on a snorkeling & sunset sailing cruise. The experience was amazing and unanimously voted as the best part of our trip. The captain and crew took fantastic care of us... great food, drinks, entertainment, and even saw a whale. I highly recommend this trip. Robert who took a cruise with Cabo Sailing on April 27th, 2018 shared his experience. Let us show you how professionals and enthusiastic we are.

Although the Whales are certainly the highlight of any trip to the lagoon, The people are what make it happen. From the expert boatmen to the wonderful chef and her staff, they all worked together as a family to make us comfortable and safe. They do so well, it looks effortless, but I know that is because they are good at their jobs and like the work they do. I also want to thank our guides, naturalists and "instant friends," Margarita, Charlotte. Pam and David who were always "on" from the moment we arrived until after we left, I'm sure. What a great group of friendly and sincere people who have the most difficult job of all; making 20 different people from all walks of life have an enjoyable experience outside their own comfort zone. They met and exceeded everyone's "needs" and satisfied most of their "wants." They are expert at handling difficult personal situations with care and respect. These are people who I am glad I have met and wish we could spend more time together.
