When to Plan Your Baja Travel
You can travel to Baja California year-round, but the most popular time is the northern hemisphere’s winter. December through April is the small ship cruising season, and if gray whale watching is on your bucket list, then consider planning your trip during the height of their calving season, mid-January through mid-March. Our experts can advise when to plan your trip depending on your interests.
