A trip - and wildlife adventure guide - like no other!

5.00This was one of the most sensational, once-in-a-lifetime trips that we have ever taken. We actually did both the Gray Whales and Whale Shark Adventure with Baja Wild Adventures, and they were both fantastic. Hamza is fantastic and one of the most genuine, professional, and knowledgeable tour operators and scientists that we've ever had the pleasure of adventuring with (as was Francesca, our expert marine biologist on the whale shark tour). I would recommend this tour and company to anyone - a true pleasure. We'll be returning soon simply to go on other excursions with this amazing group.
Will do it again

5.00This trip was an absolute highlight for our family! Our guide, Hamza, was incredibly attentive and clear communication before we even arrived made everything seamless and stress-free. Traveling with my three children (ages 7, 9, and 12), I was thrilled that we all had such an amazing experience. Seeing so many grey whales was breathtaking, and having a few come right up to the boat was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill we’ll never forget. To top it off, the lunch at the captain’s house was excellent. This trip far exceeded our expectations!
Great time

5.00This experience exceeded our expectations. I will recommend to anyone who is thinking of coming to baya to book a day to see the whales with Hamza. His experience and knowledge and his attention to detail as well as the small group setting is the only way I recommend seeing the whales. Once in a lifetime experience for our family!
Brilliant and personable trip, highly recommend this organisation.

5.00Hamza was a brilliant host, very personable and knowledgeable. He looked after us so well, driving us from our Airbnb in La Paz to San Carlos where everyone boards their boats for Magdalena bay. We were out on the boat for 3 hours which was necessary to be able to optimise closer whale viewings. We got to see whales up close and overall it was a fantastic trip.
Unbelievable!

5.00Our Grey Whale experience was wonderful! A couple of whales came up very close to the boat and it was such a treat to spend time with them. Hamza and the boat crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We were even treated to a delicious lunch made by the captain's family. I highly recommend Baja Wild Adventures.
