Caravanning to the grey whale’s “nursery” near Guererro Negro will take you through some of the most varied scenery in the world. Sometimes you will see the wild Pacific Ocean crashing against the craggy Baja coastline or view the crystal turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortez. In the middle, you find yourself in the unique Baja desert where the exotic “boojum tree” grows among the Yucca and Joshua trees. Two days of boating on Scammons Lagoon (the nursery) is the jewel in the crown for this caravan. Here you will enjoy the awesome experience of touching Grey whales in the wild, both the mothers and babies come right up to the boats. Anything else is mere icing on the cake in this epoch journey. Finally, envision moonlight beach camping right at the Bahia de Los Angles on the Sea of Cortez. Walks on the beach, flavors of the local culture and an abundance of fresh seafood. Doesn’t get any better than that! Our expert Wagomasters and Tailgunners will be there guiding you all the way starting and ending in the USA. There is no dropping off our guests at the border like other RV tour companies do. We escort the entire group to an RV park near San Diego where we get nestled in and say our goodbyes the following morning. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime FMCA event!

Baja California is the world’s longest peninsula and the landscape is widely diverse and captivating. With the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Sea of Cortez white sand coasts on the east, Baja is one great beach. But you might be surprised that it also boasts three mountain ranges, placid valleys, and high deserts with thousands of varieties of plants and animals.
Guerrero Negro, located on Scammon’s Lagoon, is an ideal spot to observe California grey whales between January and March. Thousands of whales migrate from the Bering Sea to the lagoon each year.
