Stayed in Cd Constitution for the night at Hotel Paraiso del Valle with my dog. Drove over to PLM and hung around for an hour until I got on a boat with a Mexican family. We saw a mom and baby who came fairly close to our boat. I'm going back there at the end of February and hopefully more whales.

:D How much was the boat trip? Being early there weren't too many people & you didn't need a reservation. We will be going late Feb. Mainly wondering if we need a reservation.

I never make reservations since I am traveling alone. On both trips I've taken in the past 2 weeks in Guerrero Negro and Lopez Mateos I signed up at Malarrimo Tours in GN and went out with 3 in the boat. It was 500 pesos.
Interestingly the 2nd trip in Lopez Mateos I signed up at one of the vendors and waited around to join a group. There were 3 Americans in one group and a family of 4 Mexicans from Puebla in another group; guess which group was cheaper?? So of course I took the trip out with the Mexican family since I speak good enough Spanish to understand what is going on. I always seem to get better prices for tourist events if I join a Spanish speaking group rather than expats.
