It is best to watch these whales swimming with their babies in Magdalena Bay which is located just a little off the coast of Los Cabos. San Ignacio is equally as famous for whale watching but there is a higher possibility of seeing the whales in Los Cabos than any other location in Baja especially during the peak season from the end of December to the end of March. Strict guidelines are followed during whale watching tours so that the whales are protected. When planning your Mexico vacation, dont fail to include whale watching in your itinerary.
