We want to say a big thank you to Dan and Lisa for a well-organized, fun and always interesting 28 day trip through the Baja. It was a tour to not only well-known locations but also out of the way places that we would never have found on our own. This trip gave us a real snapshot of this part of Mexico, Baja California the frontier!
We loved the caravan-style driving to our next destination, with radio contact with the wagon master and the group. On the narrow roads, knowing what traffic was approaching made the driving much more relaxing. The scenery was fantastic; the desert in the Spring is bursting with many different plants, cacti and strange-looking trees.
Our favourite of the many different and interesting excursions piloted by Dan was Gray Whale watching in Guerrero Negro. To our amazement, in the large shallow lagoon, the mother and baby whales came right up to the small 12 passenger boats. The moms push the babies up on their snouts from underneath until the young ones can see the people on board. Then the moms roll over and look the passengers right in the eye, and wait for a scratch on their barnacled heads. An amazing experience, including a drenching from the whales’ blowholes. Lots of photos taken on this excursion!
There is so much else we can say, trip of a lifetime. Yes there are some inconveniences, it is a different country. But if you like to RV, if this tour is not on your bucket list, it should be!
