San Ignacio Lagoon • Gray Whales
Mid-January – Mid-April 
Luxury Camp
Experiencing the up close intimate whale encounters of San Ignacio Lagoon does not mean foregoing your creature comforts!
Our luxury camp enables you to experience the magic of the gray whales of San Ignacio Lagoon and and our luxurious Más tented camp. We offer easy and fast private charter flights from Cabo San Lucas with morning and afternoon flights. We’ll be waiting for you at the landing strip with a glass of champagne and ready to whisk you out on your first whale encounter. Hopefully it won’t be long before the whales swim up and grace you with extraordinary interaction unique to anywhere in the world. You can expect an average of three daily whale encounter sessions on full days in camp, weather permitting.
Camp is extraordinary, with fine dining and enormous luxury tents with king size or double beds, fine linen, heat, 24-hour power, large seating area, wardrobe, private shower and bathroom with twin vanities, and hot and cold running water. You can expect a hot water bottle delivered to your tent at night and coffee service in the morning. The amazing view out the front of the tent is the biggest luxury of all.

We will be waiting with a tray of champagne after your 1 hour 55 minute flight to camp and if you want, head out right away for your first whale encounters.
