We were very fortunate to encounter friendly whales who swam up to us and let us pet them… The credit for our fabulous and memorable time goes to Carlos. Unfailingly cheerful, kind, knowledgeable, helpful, he arranged everything. Speaking perfect English, he answered all our many questions about whales, geography, and himself. He was particularly engaging with my friend’s 10-year-old grandson who was never left to feel excluded.

Our Explora Baja whale watching trip was everything we dreamed it would be. Guides, Carlos and Paula, are accommodating in every way, have great personalities, good driving skills, and tons of knowledge to share from their experiences and MS degrees in Oceanography and Marine Biology.
Awesome experience, best thing ever. Service was outstanding. We had a great time with friends, whale watching is one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve ever had.
