Blue Whale Tour Information
Blue Whale Tour Information The Arrival of the Giants!
Every year in the month of January the islands of Loreto National Marine Park become home for 9 different species of Whales; Blue, Finback, Sei, Sperm, Minke, Pilot, Orcas, Humpback and a few California Gray Whales, and to large schools of Bottlenose Dolphins, sometimes numbering in the thousands! These magnificent Mammals remain within the confines of the Park until late March, sometimes their journey extends a little later until the month of May.
A challenge of a task!
Due to the complexity involved and the knowledge required in getting close to these Whales, only a handful of companies offer these tours. The Blue Whale tours are considered to be the greatest adventure and experience that anyone can wish to participate in. These giant Mammals can reach over 100 feet in length, and weigh over 150 tons, and often we get to see these whales from touching distance... We let our web site pictures do the talking...
Playing Hide and Seek!
Our tours are guided by experienced captains that have extensive knowledge required to bring our guests to the closest distance possible to these giants! The atmosphere aboard our boats is charged with anticipation and excitement, you can almost cut the air with a knife! 
Due to the fact that the Blue and the Finback Whales remain on the surface of the water an average of 2 to 6 minutes prior a dive, and travels at a constant speed of around 10 miles per hour, it is crucial to understand many variables, which will determine the length of the dive which can be as much as 22 minutes(the record dive from our log books), and the place where the whale will surface. We are continuously moving our boats to a strategic position ready to encounter these giants--sometimes as close as you can witness by our pictures! In a regular day of whale watching in the Sea of Cortez one stands the chance to see several types of whales, and it is always an exciting moment moving from one encounter to another!
