Thanks to all the staff especially Ruby & Maldo- what an amazing experience. Great food also. You are wonderful people sharing the most beautiful experience. We can't wait to come back !

We carefully researched and planned this once in a lifetime holiday, and we concur with the positive reviews posted by others. This was our first trip to Mexico and we were delighted with the experience and found it to be a safe and welcoming country. Camp Cortez is accurately described within their website. All the facilities are well designed, comfortable... More

This was my second year going to Baja Ecotour's whale camp at Campo Cortez at San Ignacio Lagoon. The up-close and physical contact with the Gray whales makes every time as exciting as the first time. I was there 3 days with 2 whale watches (each 2 hours) per day...so 6 whale watches. And each time, we were able to... More

I would have given this review 5 stars if it weren't for some holdups on the way to & from San Ignacio. One of these was unavoidable (weather) & one of them was completely avoidable (poor communication between tour staff.) On both occasions we tourists were not kept well enough apprised about what was going on. But after all what... More

Sometimes you have to stretch your perceived capabilities to experience the memories of a lifetime. We are 'septugenarians' and set our minds to this adventure. Seeing, touching, kissing, observing the gray whales was something you only see on TV. Well, we've done it and it was food for the soul. I would say to anyone considering such a trip "GO... More

Every trip we were lucky to be able to scratch, splash, and even kiss the calves!! It was truly amazing when the whale just looks into your eyes. We learned a lot as well and made great friends. Pack warm... More

What a thrill to have a close encounter with gray whales and their calves. The babies love to be scratched and made a fuss over!!! The huge Mom swims alongside checking up on her baby and you can feel a bump and slight rising of the boat. It was very windy and cold with the water about 50 degrees. That... More

We did the bus in, fly out option in early February 2013. Our group was compatible & we made the most of our long trek; we even played Farkle in the Tijuana bus station! Once we arrived @ Campo Cortez we were welcomed by Maldo then out into the boats for our first trip to the lagoon. We spotted a... More

Would you like to see a half-ton gray whale calf roll on her side and check you out eyeball-to-eyeball, inches from your boat? Would you like to rough it a bit and stay in a small, tidy cabin right on the shoreline at a “whale camp” powered entirely by wind and solar panels? If “yes” then go to Campo Cortez.... More
