About this trip

Get ready for a full day of adventure, relaxation, and deep connection with nature in our cozy beachfront cabins.

This package includes an unforgettable whale-watching tour, where you’ll witness the majestic gray whale up close in its natural habitat, guided by our warm and knowledgeable naturalist guides.

You’ll also enjoy an additional on-site activity—perfect for unwinding and immersing yourself in the tranquil surroundings.

Throughout the day, we’ll serve buffet-style meals thoughtfully prepared to the highest standards, featuring the rich and authentic flavors of our traditional local cuisine.

The setting is peaceful and grounding, making it an ideal place to reconnect with yourself or share meaningful moments with your partner.

As the sun sets, the sky bursts into magical colors, and by nightfall, a blanket of stars gently covers the camp, bringing the day to a close in an atmosphere of awe and serenity.

In order to guarantee an organized and high-quality experience for our guests, at Kuyimá we have established the following reservation and cancellation policies for our cabin package.

The package includes:

● 1 Gray whale watching tour.

● 3 Meals

● 1 Night of lodging in a cabin, shared with another client (if you do not wish to share, a supplement for exclusive single occupancy will be charged).

● 1 Additional activity at the camp.

● Naturalist guide service

Since we operate within a Protected Natural Area, visit dates are subject to periods officially authorized by the competent authority.

Reservations can be made up to 2 years in advance.

Prices are subject to change without prior notice, except for reservations already confirmed with a deposit.

The service is offered on pre-established dates. We suggest checking the official calendar on our website or requesting it directly before making your reservation.

Validity period of this package: from January 20 to 31 and from March 30 to April 5.

Maximum capacity: 22 people in double occupancy.

Prices:

● Double occupancy: $4,200 MXN per person.

● Single occupancy (only in case of odd-numbered groups): $6,735 MXN.

For those who make their reservation with sufficient anticipation, Kuyimá offers the option to hold your date for up to 3 months without immediate payment. However, no later than during the month of September of the year prior to your visit, an advance payment of $840 MXN per person must be made via deposit or bank transfer to definitively confirm your reservation. This deposit is non-refundable. If another client shows interest in reserving the same date, the client who made the advance reservation without immediate payment will have the priority as first option. Nevertheless, priority will be given to those clients willing to make an advance payment.

● Final payment: remaining balance, at least 15 days before your arrival.

If the client fails to make the payments within the established deadlines, Kuyimá reserves the right to cancel the reservation without refund obligation and release the space for other interested parties. This measure applies especially if the pending balance has not been covered at least 15 days before the start of the service. Likewise, if it is not possible to establish contact with the client through the provided means (phone, email, or any other official channel), and after multiple attempts within a reasonable period, it will be understood that the client has withdrawn from their reservation, and it will be canceled under the same terms. In these cases, previous payments will not be refundable, unless Kuyimá determines that there were justified and documented reasons on the client’s part. This determination will be at the sole discretion of the administration.

After confirming the reservation, a form with personal data and a liability release letter will be sent.

It is recommended to purchase travel insurance to cover unforeseen events (illness, natural disasters, pandemics, or personal decisions).

Payment methods: bank transfer, deposit, credit or debit card. Reservation and payment can also be made directly through the secure payment gateway available on our official website. Checks from foreign accounts are not accepted.

Waiting list:

In case the requested date is unavailable, the client may register on a waiting list, managed by order of request.

If a spot becomes available, interested clients will be contacted following the registration order.

Exclusive reservation:

If a group wishes to reserve the entire camp exclusively, they must contract and pay for the 22 available spaces.

In this case, a special discount of 10% will be granted on the total package.

This modality must be requested and confirmed in advance and is subject to availability.

For validation, the same advance payment scheme described above will apply, adjusted to the total amount corresponding to the 22 spaces.

By making the payment, the client accepts the terms and conditions established herein.

Kuyimá reserves the right to modify or suspend the service due to force majeure (extreme weather, health regulations, or other factors beyond our control).

In case of extraordinary events beyond the client’s and Kuyimá’s control, such as health emergencies, pandemics, natural disasters, road blockades, or other situations outside the control of both parties:

● The rescheduling of the service to a new date within the same or the next year will be offered, subject to availability and current rates. If the rescheduling is to a later season, the client must pay the corresponding difference if there are adjustments in the current rates.

● If the client cannot reschedule their visit, a credit valid for up to one year under the reservation holder’s name may be issued for use on another date.

● Only if it is not possible to reschedule or use the credit, a partial refund of up to 80% will be considered, taking into account services not rendered and administrative expenses incurred.

If the service is suspended due to weather causes while already on-site, the options are:

● Reschedule the visit for the same or next year, based on availability and current rates.

● If not rescheduled, 80% of the amount corresponding to services not provided will be refunded.

Reschedulings: valid for up to one year, subject to availability.

No show:
 Failure to show up on the scheduled date results in total loss of the amount paid.

Cancellation due to personal reasons within less than 7 days before arrival.

Voluntary cancellations:

● More than 60 days before the arrival date: Payments made, excluding the non-refundable deposit, may be refunded.

● Less than 60 days before the arrival date: No refunds will be made.

All cancellation requests must be sent in writing via email and will only be processed during business hours.

The written cancellation request must be sent to the following email address: info@kuyima.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Gray Whale Watching

Our official season runs from December 15 to April 30. However, based on recent whale behavior, our regular operations typically begin around January 20 and end around the second week of April. These dates may vary slightly each season depending on natural conditions.

It depends on what you’d like to experience. Late January is especially exciting as it marks the arrival of the first whales and the appearance of newborn calves. February through mid-March is a high-activity period, when courtship and mating behaviors are more visible, and whale numbers peak in the lagoon. Toward the end of the season—from mid-March to early or mid-April—most of the whales remaining are mothers with calves preparing for their northward migration.

No. These interactions are entirely natural, unique, and spontaneous—the whales decide if, when, and how they approach us. While sightings are highly likely during our operating season, this is a wildlife experience in a natural environment, and there are no absolute guarantees. Still, simply being in the presence of these magnificent animals is a deeply moving experience. Laguna San Ignacio offers much more than sightings—it’s a place of energy and beauty that leaves a lasting impression.

Our boats are approximately 7 meters (23 feet) long and hold up to 12 passengers, plus a guide and boat operator. This ensures a safe, comfortable, and respectful experience with the whales. Please note that unless you’ve reserved a private boat, you’ll likely share the ride with guests from other groups.

Yes, babies and older adults are welcome. Babies may join under the full responsibility of their parents or guardians. There’s no age limit for seniors as long as they can safely board and disembark the boat and handle any motion during the tour. If you or someone in your group has limited mobility, please contact us in advance—we may be able to accommodate your needs with proper notice.

Yes. All our tours are led by trained boat guides, life jackets are mandatory, and we strictly follow regulations for whale watching. We also carry liability insurance and all boats meet the safety certifications issued by the relevant authorities.

Safety is always our top priority. Boat trips are suspended when wind speeds exceed 30 km/h or visibility is poor, as mandated by environmental authorities. Weather at the lagoon can shift throughout the day, so with a bit of patience, we can often run tours earlier or later the same day. If conditions prevent us from going out, we’ll offer to reschedule your tour or provide an alternative. If rescheduling isn’t possible, our weather-related refund policy will apply. We recommend staying in touch with our reservations team, who will keep you informed about any changes.

Note: Weather apps can be helpful, but they often don’t reflect the local conditions at the lagoon. For the most accurate updates, rely on our team.

Weather and Recommendations

It can vary throughout the day—mornings may start off cold and cloudy, followed by sun and warmth mid-day, and wind may pick up again later. January tends to be cooler, though rarely extreme. We recommend bringing thermal layers, waterproof clothing, and a warm hat or scarf.

  1. We suggest packing:
  • Warm clothing in layers
  • Hat/cap and sunglasses
  • Biodegradable sunscreen
  • Closed-toe comfortable shoes
  • Water shoes or sandals for wet areas
  • Flashlight and power bank
  • Reusable water bottle
  • Camera or binoculars (optional)
