It is best to watch these whales swimming with their babies in Magdalena Bay which is located just a little off the coast of Los Cabos. The best place to go to is Los Cabos than any other place in Baja or even the famous San Ignacio as there is a better chance of sighting the whales there especially during the last week of December to the last week of March. Strict guidelines are followed during whale watching tours so that the whales are protected. When planning your Mexico vacation, dont fail to include whale watching in your itinerary.
