Adventures & Baja Jones Adventures were started bceuse of Keith's desire to be near the gray whales. One or two weeks wasn't enough. We began taking small groups to Baja California to get close to the gray whales in 1995, as Baja Jones Adventures. Since then, as Jones Adventures our small group, all inclusive tours, have spread around the globe. Our primary specialization is vacations with an animal encounter as the focus point. Keith is highly skilled at leading groups to far away places in order to get close to some particular animal. Baja Jones Adventures is bonded and registered as California Seller of Travel #2055660-50 Our staff:
Our staff has grown along with Keiths
unquenchable desire to experience new and exciting animal encounters.
Each year we have limited intern spaces available for some lucky
souls to work with Keith and the Gray whales of Laguna Ojo de Liebre. |

Jones - Brief bio Since 1992 Keith has led groups to Mexico & other places around the globe in search of exciting animal encounters, especially whale encounters. Nobody has more time on the lagoons of Baja California with gray whales than he does. In 2005 Keith was on the water observing gray whales while working as the head guide for Baja Jones Adventures every day beginning January 15th through April 10th, except for four days. He has done the gray whale migration trips every year since 1992 without interruption.  Keith has worked as a studio photographer, from his studio in Tuolumne, California. Keith's photos are published regularly in various magazines, newspapers, specialty books and on dozens of websites.

talk to Randi, Keith's assistant. If you require travel assistance,
Monika, our marketing manager also operates a separate travel agency
and will gladly assist you with air reservations. Our main office is in Southern California. We have a second seasonal office and base of operations in Guerrero Negro, near Laguna Ojo de Liebre where Keith is stationed January to April. Our equipment includes 3 vans and two SUVs. We have dozens of snorkel outfits and several kayaks. Outdoor gear of every variety fills several storage rooms in both our Baja facility and our USA location.

Keith once owned a portrait studio in a small town 60 miles north of Yosemite. He now writes about Baja travel and about gray whales. Every winter you will find him in Baja, somewhere near the Gray Whales. As the founder of Jones Adventures he has led thousands of people to Mexico.
Since 1992 Baja Jones has logged over 2000 hours observing the whales of Baja, while sitting in pangas, on the various lagoons and ocean waters of Baja California, Mexico. We believe our leader is the most knowledgeable person currently working as a whale watching guide in Mexico. His writing and photos have been published in a dozen countries and scores of magazines, newspapers and web sites. He corresponds with hundreds of writers, environmental activists, biologists, researchers, scientists, students and other whale enthusiasts each year. Each issue of our newsletter is read by several thousand people. Keith recently wrote the Gray whale section for the "Lonely Planets Guide to Cabo and Baja".
