Expert Tips

“Baja California is a haven for blue, humpback and grey whales, and spotting them is really easy. The grey whales are so curious, it’s like they are human watching”.

“Head to Van Halen’s Cabo Wabo Cantina. Still owned and run by Sammy Hagar, try a cocktail or two, my favourite is the Wabojito”.
