★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 53 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $191Our pick

Review of La Paz’s full-day gray whale tour to Puerto Chale, with boat details, costs, guides, wildlife, lunch, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The three stars are not for the experience itself which was great but for the tour/tour guide. Description said that a Marine Biologist will be part of the tour. Unless the tour guide who barely spoke was the Biologist this is not correct. Basically this was a round trip transportation. If you have your own rental car, just drive there yourself and save $$.”

3.Gray Whales Watching in Magdalena Bay

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 25 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $232

Review of Magdalena Bay gray whale watching from La Paz, with transport, breakfast, marine biologist guide, boat time, costs, and booking advice.

“If I could give this trip more than 5 stars, I would. It’s obvious that Hamza, our tour guide, put in a lot of effort to make this a personalized experience. Captain & Hamza were both very respectful & safe around the gray whales. They provided transportation from La Paz to Magdalena Bay. We stopped for a very authentic breakfast on the way to the boat. We then spent hours with playful gray whales. Afterwards, we stopped for lunch at the Captains house, which was truly special. This was so much more than your average excursion. Can’t recommend enough.”
