Overview

Every January through March, gray whales complete the longest migration of any mammal on earth — from the Arctic to the warm Pacific lagoons of Baja California Sur to give birth. Puerto Chale is one of those lagoons, and The Hook takes small private groups directly into it. These are not distant whale sightings from a cliff. Puerto Chale is a shallow enclosed lagoon where gray whale mothers bring their calves. Boats operate at close range under strict permits, and curious whales frequently approach the boats. Planet Earth filmed here. Full-day experience from La Paz with all transport included — no self-driving required. The morning drive passes through massive cardón cactus desert, mangrove-lined bays, and the mountainous coastline of Isla Margarita. Breakfast and lunch are included. What's included: round-trip private transport from La Paz, breakfast, lunch, all gray whale viewing permits, bilingual guide. Season: January through March only. Limited departures

Puerto Chale is a fishing community on the Pacific Ocean coast. It is the closest point from La Paz to visit the gray whales. In the winter season, this natural spectacle attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world. This community is in full tourist development, so it still maintains its essence of tranquility away from the crowds. As fishing is its main activity, there are small points where you can enjoy dishes made with the catch of the day, or buy fish and seafood to go. Being located just two hours from La Paz, visitors can spend half a day sailing in a panga to spot the whales, eat in Puerto Chale and return in perfect time to continue enjoying La Paz.
