San Carlos is a great place for whale watching and fishing. We were able to do both with the Friendly Whale Tours company associated with the Whale Tours Hotel Vista Mag Bay... a fantastic day on the water provided by Juan Carlos and Pepe (from the hotel). We were very lucky to be at the right place at the right time with the right hosts. Thank you very much !!

San Carlos is a quaint Mexican town with friendly people. We came for the whale watch and booked through Magdalena Bay Whale Watching. It was very expensive for what the experience was, but glad to have done it. Jesus, who drove us to the start was a wonderful person...kind, caring and attentive. Our captain/guide was Christian and he was great, really trying to give us the best experience.....one close whale encounter and then just a lot of tail flukes as the whales were diving.....perhaps the wrong time of the year for seeing more whales. With that said, we did get a great dolphin encounter for 20 minutes, met local fishermen, lots of seabirds, saw sea lions and walked the beautiful windswept dunes. Had a great lunch at "Restaurant la Pasudita" when we first arrived.
