A travelogue from our 2018 retreat.
Have you ever dreamed of touching a wild whale? Are you called to experience the thrill of seeing and touching the gentle, giant Gray Whales in the natural beauty of San Ignacio Lagoon? This is the one place on our planet where you can have a magical and friendly Whale encounter. Make meaningful contact with them as they come up to our boat where you can touch, pet and even kiss these friendly Gray Whales.
Every year Gray whales migrate more than 10,000 miles roundtrip, between their summer feeding grounds in the Arctic and the coastal lagoons of southern Baja. San Ignacio is one of the lagoons that is a winter home of the Gray whale. The whales use these protected, shallow, warm waters as their breeding and birthing waters. San Ignacio is the only lagoon that remains undeveloped and pristine.
The Gray whales are known as the "Friendliest whales on Earth!" as they often seek out boats and even bring their young calves up to the boats to visit, observe and be touched by people. What makes this even more incredible, is that for over 100 years, San Ignacio lagoon was used relentlessly by whalers to trap and kill the Gray whales. The Grays were known to the whalers as "Devil Fish" as they were one of the only species of whale to fight back aggressively against the whalers. Whaling was halted in 1946, which means some of the individual whales were the same ones who were hunted by man and now they are the friendliest whales on earth! This is the ultimate example of true forgiveness. On this trip you will be immersed in the energy of pure forgiveness in the presence of the Gray whales.

Eco-friendly Whale Watching Camp
Our spacious Eco- friendly camp offers the perfect place to relax and unwind while visiting San Ignacio Lagoon! Enjoy walking trails, exceptional views of the lagoon and beautiful sunsets. Our camp is right on the lagoon, which means you can watch the whales all day long and even listen to their powerful breaths at night. The cabins are equipped to sleep 2 people with a shared bathroom. Some have 2 twin beds and some have 1 double bed and a twin bed. Solar panels provide the electricity for lights and hot water. Keep an eye out for curious coyotes and nesting ospreys in the nearby desert.
