Whale Magic Tours offer a unique, educational experience with naturalist guided day trips that include having breakfast together,an interesting Whale Talk, transport to our camp and the naturalist guided whale tour with lunch afterwards.

Choose from a variety of package options with hotel accommodations, camping at our hacienda or hostel bunkhouse or stay out at our remote Whale Camp in glamping tents. You can drive yourself, fly-in, or arrange van transport to Guerrero Negro.  Everything is arranged for you so you can relax and enjoy a magnificent whale adventure.

Our tours operate out of the middle lagoon which is the narrowest and most protected part of the lagoon to provide the best possible whale encounters in any weather condition.

We can organize another activity in the afternoon like a visit to the pronghorn antelope reserve, bird-watch at the estuary, float in the salt pools or tour the Salt Works. Join one of our tours from Jan- March to experience whale magic for yourself!

 WHALE  MAGIC BEACH CAMP

After years of dreaming and planning we are proud of our own private Whale Magic Camp in the middle lagoon where whales frolic very close so you can hear and watch them from shore. This is the narrowest part of the lagoon so there is a larger concentration of whales to play with there which means we are with whales within moments of getting on our pangas.

We have 2 pangas rated for 14 people for our groups & I personally trained our guides & pangeros to be respectful of both the whales and our guests and each panga has a naturalist of course. Your vehicles are parked in our compound & we bring you to the camp in our vans.

Whale Magic Camp is a private, intimate camp that accommodates a maximum of 14 people in beautiful,  heavy duty springbar canvas tents with sturdy large cots & beds with mattresses on them with bedding, towels & beach chairs provided.

Listen to the whales breathing at night & enjoy the dark sky for star gazing. It is solar powered & we have a charging station for  your cameras & phones. There is no cell service there but we have contact with our office via radio.

Healthy meals using local produce featuring seafood from the lagoon  are prepared by our camp cook served in the dining tent. There is a shower and shared bathrooms and you can swim in the canal right at the camp. Special dietary needs are no problem with advance notice.

DSCN1415The area is fantastic for birdwatching, hiking and fossil hunting in the afternoons or taking a siesta or a swim and watching whales from your tent, or if weather permits you can whale watch again in the afternoons for an extra cost. We also have a nice library of whale books & games to keep you busy and camp hosts are happy to talk whales all day long!

I am proud of our wonderful tribe who strive to make your visit a memorable, safe & educational one. My daughter Sirena, who was raised with whales in the lagoon is the camp guide. So come and join us for a magical experience at the Whale Magic Camp!

Whale Camp fills up fast so book early!

TRIP INFORMATION

 
Hotel Info
 
We use a variety of small  local hotels and private rentals and our hacienda Baja Magic for accommodation depending on your package. We will let you know where you will be staying when you reserve.
 
The  hotels arent fancy so they dont have washcloths or blow dryers & I always bring my own pillow and extra blanket if possible!
 
****DON’T FORGET THE TIME CHANGE…WE ARE ONE HOUR LATER in Baja Sur !!!
 
Boat (Panga) info – The boats we will be whale watching from are open pangas that take up to 14 passengers. If the weather is rough or the whales are frisky,  you may get some spray or splashed. Please bring a waterproof  jacket. Don’t forget your camera, spare batteries, data card and sunscreen. ***Bring some small bills along to tip your boat driver & guide.
 
Clothing – It’s winter so it can get cold but it is usually temperate and often warm like summer. You may want to bring jackets, warm hats and wet gear for when you get sprayed by a whale or if it is windy! Best to dress in layers.
 
Travel/Immigration Documents – Ensure you and those in your vehicle have your travel documents current and in order. These documents include your Passport & FMM’s (Tourist Visa )you get at the border. If you do not have proper documents you may be fined or sent back north to the border to obtain them…..also, your Mexican liability auto insurance may not be valid.
 
Money – Although most businesses take American dollars, you have the advantage if you use Pesos. Pesos are easily obtained from ATM’s along the way (Ensenada, San Quintin and Guerrero Negro). When using an ATM you get the current daily exchange rate. If you use American dollars smaller bills are easier to handle. Businesses in Baja/Mexico do not accept travelers checks. ***Most businesses south of Ensenada DO NOT take credit cards!!
 
Before you enter Baja, call your VISA card and ATM card banks and inform them you will be on vacation and using your cards…..if you do not, they may “lock-up” your card!
 
**We require a  deposit to confirm your reservation non- refundable after November. We will advise you of the amount to send when you make your reservation. The best way to send it is using Wise.com  that has no fees and a great exchange rate better than the banks. I will send you my bank info at the time of booking. Here is the link & bank info and in the notes section please put your name & dates to it.
