How close will we get to see the whales?	We must keep at least 100 yards away from the whales so we won't disturb their migration. Therefore, we'll get you as close as possible without putting the whale in harms way.
What about the calves?	The calves are born in the warm waters of Baja California and make the migration back to colder higher latitude waters in the summer to feed with their mothers.
Do we see any other marine life?	We see pods of different dolphin populations, porpoise, sunfish, and during certain seasons Orcas or killer whales and blue whales.
