Camp Cecil de la Bahia: Humpbacks, Fishing + Kayaking
Baja doesn’t get more wild, more alive, or more beautiful than this!
Nestled on the edge of one of the most biologically rich bays on the planet, Camp Cecil de la Bahía is your dreamy, wild, and utterly remote base camp for four unforgettable days and three magical nights immersed in the spectacular wildlife and untamed beauty of Magdalena Bay. The tents of Camp Cecil de la Bahia are beautifully appointed walk-in safari-style tents with gorgeous beds, seating areas, rugs, chandeliers, and ensuite bathrooms. The camp chef prepares three beautiful meals a day and daily happy hour.
In December and January, you can witness humpback whales lunging and breaching in the cobalt-blue waters at the mouth of the bay. Watch in wonder as these gentle giants roll and spy-hop, putting on a show that no screen can prepare you for. Cruise alongside playful pods of bottlenose dolphins as they race your bow. Share the water with California sea lions that seem to delight in your company as much as you delight in theirs.
From the camp you can take your kayak and glide silently through a cathedral of ancient mangroves—great blue herons, ospreys, pelicans and frigatebirds keeping watch as you paddle deeper into one of Baja’s most treasured coastal ecosystems. Your expert naturalist guide brings it all to life with the stories of plants, birds, and creatures that depend on these critical nursery waters.
And for those who want to test their luck against Magdalena Bay’s legendary fishing grounds—grab a rod and head out with our knowledgeable local fishing captains. Yellowtail, grouper, snapper, and occasional roosterfish are all in play.
Humpback, Fishing and Kayaking Season at Camp Cecil de la Bahia is mid-December to late January.
