I agree with shari, seeing what goes on in those Baja lagoons is magnificent, truly a life-changing experience. The only thing I have ever seen that compares is off the north coast of the Dominican Republic in an area called the Silver Banks. It is the primary breeding grounds for the Atlantic humpback population. The unique thing about it is that it is, or was, the only place in the world where the local government permitted you to get into the water with them (on snorkel). The trip is by liveaboard boats only, and they run from Puerto Plata in the Dominican to Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos. I am not particularly happy with the photos I got on this trip but here is one with a mom and calf:
