The Baja California desert is unique with its exotic flora and fauna, but what enchants most is the abundant marine life, something that famous underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau referred to as the “world’s aquarium.” An excursion with our company can immerse you in this colorful paradise with naturalist guides providing intriguing scientific information to enhance the experience. Snorkel among sea lions and nearly 900 types of tropical fish, swim alongside whale sharks, or get up close to the star of the show: the whales

The perfect Whale Safari! We couldn't find what we wanted from a UK based company so, after much searching on the internet, we hit up Baja Sur Tours. Jahaziel patiently answered our many questions before we booked, openly and honestly. We opted for the small group tour but at the time of booking we were the only two booked. We didn't want to risk cancellation if nobody else booked so agreed a second (higher) price if it was just the two of us. In the event, it was just ther two of us and we paid the extra, expecting the trip to be the 2 of us plus a guide travelling by car. No - we had a modern, comfortable minibus throughout. Jahaziel remained with us throughout the trip as did Maru, a higly qualified marine biologist. The two of them could not have been more attentive, providing copious supplies of drinks and snacks of our choice and happy to stop whenever we asked for photos, shopping etc.
Every whale watching excursion was just the 4 of us. With one unfortunate exception, the boat captains were excellent. Maru was extremely knowledgable and gave us lots of information before each trip. She was also very respectful of the whales, avoiding crowding the whales (which was not always the case with other boats) but still giving us great experiences. I never expected to be within a few feet of a blue whale, for example, or swim with whale sharks!
Both Jahaziel and Maru took lots of photos and videos throughout the safari, all of which they shared with us - over 2,000 pictures.
All in all a great experience.

A trip of a lifetime made close to perfect by Baja Sur Tours and the owner Jahaziel. I started communicating with Jahaziel in early January to plan a special trip for my brother who has terminal brain cancer. As you can imagine because of the cancer there were many concerns and limitations that needed to be addressed and it was difficult to know when or if we would actually be able to book. Despite that, Jahaziel worked patiently with me through many emails and questions to customize the mini safari to meet our needs.
The mini safari is a four night, 3 excursion private all inclusive trip. Other than get to Los Cabos there is nothing for you to do. Jahaziel arranges everything from picking you up at the airport, all the hotels, all the restaurants and all the travel, and there is a fair amount of travel to get to all the incredible whale and marine animal watching excursions.
The hotels – all of the ones we stayed in were comfortable, clean, quiet about 3 star hotels. The quiet being very important as you have some pretty early mornings to get on the water at the best time to find whales.
The restaurants - every restaurant was excellent, most of them were small local restaurants you would never find as a tourist.
The travel – you travel between locations in a very comfortable van. Jahaziel was great at putting in stops for meals or just a break so that even the one 5 – 6 hour drive was good. Plus, there are beverages, sparkling water for me and cerveza for the guys, and snacks available all the time.
The excursions – Wow! We went to watch humpbacks off Cabo San Lucas, meet gray whales in Magdalena Bay and visited sea lions from La Paz. It was amazing! We followed a group of humpbacks for a couple hours and saw many breaches one after another and lots of them swimming on their backs and waving at us with their fins. We were surrounded by gray whales at one point and many of them came within feet of the boat! And the sea lions were noisy and curious and fun to swim with. We got lucky with what we got to see but the expertise and experience of Baja Sur Tours guides and the boat captains they work with played a big part in us being in the right place at the right time.
Jahaziel and our guide Adri were with us every step of the way and were a lot of fun to be with! In addition, throughout the trip Jahaziel and Adri as well as our guide with the seals, Lorenza were patient and understanding with my brother and went out their way to keep him safe and happy.
I would highly recommend Baja Sur Tours for your next whale watching excursion! And I can’t thank them enough for giving us an amazing trip and memories to last forever with my brother!
