This was actually a couple years ago, and the boat we went on is no longer in business, but others offer basically the same tour. We went in February, after a very wet winter, so this was the first time the boat had been out that year, and my wife Linda and I were the only guests. On a very grey and cold day, it didn't take long at all to find whales migrating back north after winter in Baja. We got close enough to get sprayed by their spouts. What awesome creatures, as big as a bus and swimming right alongside us. Two came straight toward the boat, diving at the last second and coming up on the other side. It was an experience of a lifetime.
