Grey whale encounters at this lagoon are handled with the utmost respect and care for the animals. We saw and interacted with whales on each of our trips into the lagoon. This camp is the 3rd closest to the lagoon. Maldo and his family build and maintain a fantastic camp, complete with solar and wind powered hot showers and marine... more

We expected to see "some" whales during the trip, but we were surrounded by them every time we went out on the boat. It was a truely amazing experience. Adrianne, Maldo, Cuco and the rest of our hosts were warm and wonderful. I recommend the tour highly to anyone who wants to experience these gentle giants in a beautiful, natural... more

We just got back from a 5-day trip to see the whales. It was a very memorable experience. We saw whales doing what they do, close up: mating, courting, playing, breaching, spyhopping, blowing, caring for the calves. A few approached the small boat for a scratch. We enjoyed every bit of it. The hosts and naturalist are very kind, the... more

We are a small non-profit organization that is getting ready for our 3rd trip to Campo Cortez with Baja Ecotours as a fund-raiser. We have been extremely pleased with Baja Ecotours in their business dealings, and with all the camp crew, naturalists and staff during our stays at San Ignacio Lagoon. One of the reasons we keep coming back is... more

I first visited San Ignacio with Baja Ecotours in 2001. We drove from La Paz to the village of San Ignacio, where the camp owner met us. He took us on a tour of the picturesque little town, introduced us to the locals, and then lead us down the road to the camp. I highly recommend taking the time to... more

I just returned from San Ignacio Lagoon with Baja Ecotours. What a wonderful trip and what awesome hosts they are. The camp is beautiful and in a great location on San Ignacio Lagoon. The boat ride out to the whale viewing area is one of the shortest on the lagoon. They also have their own small bay that you can... more

I have been to Campo Cortez with Baja Ecotours twice to experience the migration of the grey whales and it is a highlight of my life. The camp is eco-friendly, the staff both friendly and knowledgeable and, of course, the experience of being with the whales is truly incredible. The food is simple but very tasty and the cabins are... more

I am the author of the 2001 book, "Eye of the Whale," that traced the migration of the gray whales from Baja to Chukotka. During my research I had the chance to go out with quite a few of the whale-watching captains along the San Ignacio Lagoon. And I would rate Baja Ecotours, run by Maldo and Johnny, at the... more

We loved our trip to San Ignacio and staying with Baja Eco Tours was perfect. They were everything they promised, we even had hot showers. The boat captains took us out right on time twice a day, we always saw whales and their calves. We were able to pet them, it was fantastic. They aslo took us on other trips... more
