Ultimate Whales Adventure in the Sea of Cortez onboard the Nautilus Gallant Lady. If you are a whale aficionado, this is THE trip for you.
You begin with humpback whale watching in Cabo San Lucas, than you make your way to La Paz to snorkel with whale sharks and sea lions. Then you board the expedition yacht Gallant Lady to head north towards UNESCO National Parc of Loreto to see Blue whales. Here we might also see other whale species; the Sea of Cortez is filled with cetacean this time of the year. This is all airplane supported to help spot for whales and other animals.
The second half of the trip is luxury glamping in San Ignacio Lagoon to observe extraordinary Grey whales…
Sounds like a trip you would like to do? You don’t know? So let me tell you this…
Today close to the Loreto National Parc we had encounters with Blue whales the entire day. My educated guess is we saw 8-12 different Blues. We had a total of 77 individual sightings with those whales. All that over a period of approximately 6 hours, which makes 13 sightings per hour… That is a mind blowing number, and we are talking about one of the more shy whales, which are not seen in a lot of places world wide.
An animal of superlatives, a Peninsula of superlatives, a trip of superlatives.
