depends on when the last whales leave. often the wahles are good thru the second week of april,... but you never know.

with global warming trend over past decade, the whales have been arriving later each year, and whale counts have been down last few years, whales have been skinnier. ocean warming is screwing up arctic feeding grounds, me thinks.

or perhaps the evil russians and japanese are illegally hunting gray whales. whaling countries are truly evil.

In my experience late March has been the best time.

Wow, I did it in 45 minutes in 2002. That was in an H1 but the road must have really gone to hell for it to now take 6 hours or more.

The Roads.


Road to Ojo de Liebre



Road to San Ignacio



And I mentioned before that 2 hours was the longest it ever took us to get out to San Ignacio, and usually far less and that old 2003 truck with 165000 miles on it is a Toyota---:biggrin:
