What a fantastic day at Las Almejas this morning, gorgeous sunny skies, flat calm waters and gray whales in every direction! Having sailed all through the night, we woke to waiting pangas to take us into the breeding lagoon. Gray whales travel all the way down from the high arctic of Russia and Alaska to the warm and protected waters of Baja California Sur and we were fortunate enough to see many of them today. The afternoon was spent nearby at Isla Santa Margarita enjoying hikes up the mountain and along the beach, while others kayaked and tested their balance skills on stand-up paddleboards. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better last day in Baja as we enjoyed our wonderful photo slide show, great company and a stunning sunset.

Canal de Cerralvo / La Paz
We awoke navigating on the Cerralvo Canal, between Cerralvo Island and the peninsula, searching for wildlife. We were not disappointed, as two different pods of common dolphins came to visit and bow ride with us for a long time. After lunch, we anchored at Pichilingue Port and disembarked the vessel to visit the capital city of Baja California Sur, La Paz, where we had the chance to interact with the locals in some of the most popular places, like La Fuente, a traditional ice cream parlor, and the Jardin Velasco in downtown. Then guests enjoyed a fiesta, dinner, and returned on board National Geographic Venture .

Magdalena Bay
Today we woke with the shining stars and took Zodiacs ashore to meet our coaches for a trip to Chale, a small town on the shores of Magdalena Bay. The goal was to find some wintering gray whales, magnificent leviathans which frequent this coast to give birth before the long migration back to their Arctic feeding grounds. These whales did not disappoint! Spyhopping, breaching, and even a bit of tail flukes. As a result, there were lots of smiles and laughter all around! We returned to the town for lunch and then headed back out on the local boats for a second round. As we returned to the ship, the sun set over La Paz, with glassy waters of gold in the harbor, and pink clouds above. The constellations of Orion, Taurus, and the Pleiades shone over our Zodiacs on our way back to dinner aboard National Geographic Venture .
