I will be flying into Loreto a few days early for a scheduled group trip, and hope to get to Lopez Mateos or San Carlos to frolic with the whales. I
have looked at the whale watching section here at BajaNomads, but still have questions.
Are there businesses that drive individuals from Loreto to the Pacific side, hook them up with a panga trip and bring the folks back safely?
I got a response from Bajaoutpost, but the prices are pretty steep for a few days...close to $500. That is more than half of what I'll pay for my week
long all inclusive stay! I understand they are also for sale, but do seem to offer quite a bit good food, decent accomodations, lots of time with the
whales, etc...but $500!
I'd be happy to spend the first two days of my trip to Baja doing this, but am coming up empty so far. Any help would be appreciated.Diver - 12-18-2006 at 02:47 PM
If you know where you will be staying, call them.
They should know about transportation to Lopez Mateo.
It can be done in a day trip easily.
You could also rent a car in Loreto and drive there yourself.
Parts of the drive are beautiful and the road isn't bad in a car in daylight.

I believe that Baja Outpost is where she might be staying.
I would imagine that someone here will have further details on any "guided" trips out of Loreto. Failing any value there, you will likely need to "do
it yourself," rent-a-car, etc.jerry - 12-18-2006 at 06:46 PM
