Well planned and well executed. Group size was ideal. Food was good. Staff were interesting and enthusiastic.
But the whales... the whale made the trip. They were fantastic.

Unfortunately, I was not able to go on the trip. I was super sick with the flu. I was taken out for two weeks. Baja Eco Tours was amazingly helpful. Risa reached out to our travel insurance, got the paperwork, talked us through the processes and was incredibly gracious. First, be sure to get travel insurance. Second, the level of care and organization helps me look forward to next year.

What an amazing trip! Seeing the blue and grey whales was so delightful. We loved all of the guides and so appreciate everyone who made this trip and stay possible. The food and staff were amazing. The camp is very clean and the whaahoo of the toilet flush made us laugh everytime. Campo Cortez at night was magical with the stars so bright and the lit pathways to the cabins and toilets. Oh, and the Osprey were an extra treat.

This trip was just about perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I loved the contrast between the great accommodations at the hotel in Loreto with the simple cabins when we reached Campo Cortez. The trip was well organized but relaxed, and the staff were interesting, always available, knowledgeable and fun. I also appreciated the small group experience. Last but definitely not least, the whale watching was incredible. I highly recommend this trip.
