Whale,
Dolphin, and Sea Lion - Six Day Combo Trip
- Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez |
Your whale watching trip with Baja
AirVentures begins with one and a half days exploring the famous Scammons
Lagoon located on the Pacific Ocean. You’ll experience California Gray
whales as they move along their annual migration route, first with a local
guide by boat, and then by air. The combination of air and sea viewing is
something NO other whale watching operator in Baja is able to offer. In fact,
the opportunity to view these creatures with a birds eye view is a rarity in
itself. You will revel in up-close encounters with inquisitive young calves and
mischievous, yet mindful adult whales. A short, scenic flight will then carry
you over the peninsula to the Las Animas Wilderness Retreat, found on the Sea
of Cortez.
The
remainder of the trip to Las Animas is by boat. There you’ll enjoy four
more days of fun, exploration, and relaxation. Fantastic food, superior
accommodations, attentive staff, endless natural wonders and certain relaxation
will all meet you there. Call now to reserve your place on this truly unique
soft adventure vacation. See you in Baja! |

John Steinbeck's "Galapagos of Mexico" - Sea of
Cortez |
 There really is no question as to
why John Steinbeck coined this area of Mexico as the countries Galapagos! The
Sonoran desert and the crystal blue waters surrounding Las Animas near the Bay
of the Angels are home to an impressive variety of abundant food supply and
diverse habitats. You'll experience perhaps the most spectacular collection of
marine plants, birds and mammals found anywhere in the world. 23 species of
dolphins and whales, including the largest whales in the world, the Fin and
Blue whales, have been sighted in Canal de Los Ballenas (just whale canal), east
of Las Animas. 800 fish species, 120 species of cactus, and the largest
concentration of seabirds found anywhere in the Sea of Cortez are all here to
discover.
