About
Proyecto Cetáceo
Explore, preserve, share
We offer responsible and safe whale watching and ocean adventures, minimizing impact and avoiding forced interactions with wildlife.
Our guides are ocean lovers, naturalists, and certified Divemasters and Dive Instructors accredited by the Mexican Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR). They share their knowledge about the area and local fauna, providing a fully immersive, environmentally conscious experience.
All our tours are educational, giving guests an amazing time while learning about Baja California Sur’s marine life. We always respect wildlife, keeping a safe distance to prioritize the animals’ welfare.
As a women-owned small business, we are proud to contribute to marine conservation while supporting our local community. We also collect important data using tools like photo identification to track migratory patterns, population, and health, sharing this information with researchers and the public.
Our commitment
to preserving our home
Each month, we proudly support a local non-profit dedicated to wildlife protection and conservation, donating 20% of our profits to causes like whale disentanglement, marine wildlife rescue, and research-focused initiatives.
Part of our team is an active member of the National Whale Disentanglement Network (RABEN), rescuing whales caught in fishing gear.
We also organize citizen science trips alongside researchers from the University of Baja California Sur, collecting valuable data on marine life and contributing directly to conservation efforts.
We have been an active part of organizing The Whale Festival, an event dedicated to celebrating these majestic creatures and educating the public about their vital role in our ecosystem.
We take direct action through regular underwater and beach clean-ups, helping keep our shores and oceans healthy.
Groups we contribute to
One of our most important efforts is education: we regularly visit local schools and resorts to give talks about whales and marine life, inspiring the next generation to care for our oceans and protect marine ecosystems.
