This was one of the most magical and wonderful experiences of my life. The whale experience itself was unbelievable, but add to it the wonderful meals, community between guests and Sirena - the mermaid. I loved every minute of Whale Camp!!
This was an incredible memory that we will cherish. Everything about the trip was magical including the accommodations with hot showers and relaxing courtyard, delicious breakfast and lunches, great recommendations on local restaurants, exquisite whale touching experiences. We enjoyed a private tour of the magnesium pools! There is also dog sitting and a pen that we used for our pup. Shari was always helpful with answering any last minute questions and was extra accommodating when our passport was expired and needed to postpone the trip for an undetermined amount of time. I loved all the extra info during the van rides to the lagoon. I would return for the same trip in February for more whales!
It was a fun day. I would give the food a 7.5 on flavor and a 5 on quantity. The hotel they set us up at was adequate. While we didn’t get to actually interact/touch any whales, it was a wonderful experience. My daughter is still talking about the kindness of the staff.

Thank you Vicky. This late in the season our friendly whales have headed north...but remember it is whale watching and not whale touching! Maybe next time if you come a bit earlier.
The entire trip was absolutely out of this world! Learning about gray whales, hearing the magical stories, and experiencing your deep care and knowledge about these gentle giants was incredible. But seeing them up close and even touching them—that was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The host, Shari, was wonderful, thank you so much.
