A Day in Mag Bay: Up Close with the Great Gray Whales
Palapas Ventana is your home for everything WHALE
A hush fell over the panga. We knew they were nearby. I studied the surface of the water looking for any ripple, any sign of where the momma gray whale and her calf had gone. How could something so large disappear so quickly in the shallow, protected waters of Magdalena Bay?
And then, in one breathtaking moment, a prehistoric head reared out of the glassy water just a few yards from the boat. Right next to it another miniature head popped up. They both looked like they were smiling – hovering there for a moment before slipping beneath the water again.
Cheers erupted on the boat. I realized I had been holding my breath the entire time.
The staggering power and beauty of these ancient creatures is an experience tough to describe. And in Mag Bay, that experience is right at your fingertips.
Book your gray whale expedition with us this winter, where we take you to both sides of Baja: at our resort in La Ventana, and to our outpost in Mag Bay.
