Day
# 1 : Leave
the border bright and early. Travel to Guerrero Negro, arrive
in the afternoon. We make a great lunch stop near the remote village
of Catavina. There we have the opportunity to visit an interesting
ancient cave painting site. Then a short three hour drive gets
us to our destination. After getting situated in our rooms we
meet for dinner and an orientation talk by our own Baja Jones.
Days 2 & 3: Meet
for breakfast and then travel to the lagoon where we will
spend
the day whale watching with two boat trips planned to observation
area #3. Lunch
will be served by our friendly staff and crew. Then weather
permitting a second trip out onto the lagoon will finish an exciting
day
of
whale
watching.
Dinner will likely be at Las Cazuelas Restarante and will
be prepared by one of the best chefs in Guerrero Negro.
Day 4: Today following
breakfast we venture to the outer lagoon. There we expect
to see more mating adults than previous days. Possibly closer
views and more viewing of breaching and tails. Probably
less babies will be seen up close. Afterwards we will relax
at Marios Palapa Restaurant while sipping margarita and a truly
Mexican bar-b-que. Margaritas, carne asada, chicken, guacamole,
baked potatoes and a nice sunset will end another exciting day
of whale watching.
Day 4 Alternate:
Today following breakfast we venture to the inner lagoon area
#2. There we expect to see more babies with their mother's
and possibly some amazing mating groups. We will do one morning
whale watch trip and then enjoy a picnic buffet lunch spread
at a small palapa along the shore. After a leisurely lunch
we will take the afternoon to walk and explore along the shoreline.
This
is
an excellent
area
for
bird watching.
Sometimes we get whale crazed people who cannot get enough
whale watching. For a small additional fee (about $45 US) those
who have not had enough whale watching can do an afternoon
boat trip. We plan to do an early evening surf and turf bar
b q on the shore for dinner. And of course we will not forget
the many vegetarian whale watchers who join us as we prepare
this meal. This should prove to be an
excellent
way to
end
a great whale watching adventure.
Day #5 : All good trips
eventually end. And so will ours. This is our travel back to the
U.S. day. We'll leave early and arrive in the United States mid-afternoon,
depending on the border crossing. |
