We require a deposit of $2,000 MXN to reserve your space on the boat.

Join us for a day of whale watching in Magdalena Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular whale-watching destinations in the world.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat.

We will depart from La Ventana in the morning and travel to Puerto Chale, where we'll board a boat and head out to sea. We'll spend 2-3 hours searching for whales, and we'll have the opportunity to see them up close as they breach, spy hop, and lobtail. You'll also learn about the biology and behaviour of these amazing creatures from our experienced guide. After our whale-watching tour, we'll return to Puerto Chale for lunch and then head back to La Ventana.

Words fail to describe how magical our experience with the Grey Whales! Rachida and Shirena organized everything - from pick up at our hotel, arranging the driver, and found the perfect spot for a lovely lunch -all included! Communication was excellent and working with Aqua Salada is a first class experience from start to finish. Our guide, Shirena, was very knowledgable and a fantastic guide and photographer. She captured the most beautiful moments with these gentle giants. There are few things that will get me out of bed at such an early hour, but THIS was totally worth it. There were SO many grey whales, breaching, spy hopping, and cruising alongside the boat, we literally didn’t know where to point our camera next! To be surrounded by these beautiful beings was awe inspiring and pure joy. Our cheeks hurt from beaming smiles start to finish. When a whole came up to check out the back of the boat to visit, we could have reached out and pet it! End of Feb. was perfect timing, beautiful weather, and the mothers and their calves were all together. If you are thinking about it - just book it-You will have the experience of a lifetime.

They truly are gentle and impressive to see. Thank you for trusting us, and joining one of our expeditions!

Accommodated our family with young kids with just a few days notice. Our guide, Shirena, shared her enthusiasm for spotting marine wildlife and our captain, Carlos, assisted with snorkel gear which was super helpful. Knowledgable and friendly communication with all of Agua Salada

Thank you Tina for your kind review! We hope that your littles had a memorable day!

Rachida and Emily were absolutely amazing. They were so accommodating with food allergies during the trip. The group felt more like a family rather than lots of individuals coming together. Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves the ocean and is looking to learn some new free diving skills!

You're a sweetheart. Thank you Kylie. Sending you hugs, and good vibes... and hope to see you again!!!!

Rachida set up a tour for my friends and I with only a few days notice. Shirena and Roberto were an amazing guide and captain duo on the boat. Shirena let us decide what we wanted to spend time doing and is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the ocean, and ecotourism ethics. We got to see orcas, swam with sea lions, and were surrounded by a huge pod of pilot whales. Not to mention we enjoyed fresh ceviche and pineapple with a cold beer for lunch. This was my second tour with Agua Salada, and I am a loyal customer for life!

Sarah!! It's always nice to hear from you, and although I missed you this time, I'm sure I'll catch you on your next trip down here. Thank you for the sweet review. It's our biggest joy to share the beauty of our bay with guests.

It was beautiful and peaceful and relaxing and our cowboy was friendly and nice and we are glad we did it.
