We love gray whales; they fought back against whalers and kicked ass in San Ignacio Lagoon.
The true miracle of San Ignacio Lagoon is that these highly intelligent creatures put aside all this violence and choose to interact with us on their own terms. Hard to imagine but true. The grays seek out physical affection from humans that might be anything from kisses, petting, or stroking to rolling on their backs and having their tummies scratched to having us gently scratch the inside of their mouths. As humans, we have done some horrible things and it is incredible that these whales, certainly as intelligent as any primate, choose to be affectionate instead of brawling with us (which is what we probably deserve after what the whalers did)… Visiting the Lagoon and experiencing this interaction is something that nobody should miss.

Champagne is poured and passed around by Iris (stewardess) as the travelers gather on the top deck of the boat to celebrate and cheers for safe travels ahead.

Unique Facts About Great White Sharks
We’ve spent almost 20 years observing the great white sharks of Guadalupe. Over time, we’ve seen the population flourish – we’re now up to 367 identified great white sharks, with a whopping 82% sighted more than one year and 36% sighted for more than five years. That’s a lot of sharks. And with so many […]

Five Interesting Facts About Orcas
We’ve been blown away with the amount of marine megafauna we’ve seen in the Sea of Cortez this year, it’s been the best we’ve seen in 20 years and we’re only halfway through the year! Our spotter airplane supported mobula and orca expeditions have been just as awesome, for a flavor of what to expect […]
