Crystal Cove Conservancy is organizing a five-day, low-impact eco-tour to Laguna San Ignacio in Baja California Sur, a UNESCO-designated sanctuary and one of the last remaining calving grounds for Pacific gray whales. Located within the El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve, the lagoon is a globally important habitat for whales and other marine life.

The trip offers guided whale encounters aboard small panga boats led by local experts, along with interpretive conversations with conservationists and marine scientists about current challenges facing gray whales and coastal ecosystems. Participants stay at an environmentally sensitive camp designed to minimize impact while providing an immersive wilderness experience.

The program is operated in partnership with conservation-focused outfitter Baja Discovery and is intentionally limited to a small group.

Trip details (tentative):

Price: $5,095 per person (double occupancy; single occupancy may incur an additional fee)
Group size: Limited
Includes: Chartered flight from Tijuana (departing San Diego), lodging, meals, local guides, and interpretive programming
