Guerrero Negro is tricky to get to but well worth the effort as it is the main mating and calving lagoon with the highest number of whales(up to 2,000)& we have the highest concentration of friendly whales. It is a huge lagoon with 3 different areas of observation and fewer boats.

If you are driving from the north or flying into San Diego and renting a car, it is a 12 hour drive down from the border down Highway 1, so many do it in 2 days stopping for the night in El Rosario at Baja Cactus, a really nice hotel too. Highway 5 is much nicer and saves you 2 hours and you can choose a hotel in San Felipe if you stop there.

International flights into Loreto   There are flights from LA and it is easy to rent a car. It is a beautiful  6 hour drive to Guerrero Negro … or it’s easy to take the bus too after getting off the plane and the hotel our guests stay in is beside the bus terminal or take a taxi to our office at BAja Magic 5 minutes away. We provide transport in our vans to and from the lagoon so you really don’t need a car unless you want to make a vacation out of it, see the sights and stop different place along the way. It is fun to stay a night in Loreto and see the Mission. There is a nice hotel across from the bus terminal and lots of hotels and restaurants.
