There’s no better way to spend a long weekend than an unforgettable day with grey whales surrounded by un poquito playa time and un poquito tacos time. Baja California is always a treat – can’t wait to do this itinerary again! You can also extend your trip to: circumnavigate Isla Carmen via kayak camping, see blue whales in the Sea of Cortez, or even drive down to Cabo Pulmo National Park.
Day 1: Loreto
Land at the Loreto International Airport and stay in this sleepy expat beach town as your homebase. You’ll find plenty of places to eat, drink, eat some more, and relax. See: A Day in Loreto: A Mission to Relax and Too Many Tacos!? Where to Eat in Loreto, Mexico
Day 2: Magdalena Bay
The day you’ve been waiting for! Early morning rise with a 2 hour drive to cross the peninsula. You’ll be back in Loreto for siesta with a permanent smile on your face! See: A Day with Grey Whales in Baja and The Five W’s to Seeing Grey Whales
