Cuddling with a huge whale in the Gulf of Mexico Baja California.

Gray whales spend summer and autumn in the northern latitudes near the peninsulas of Alaska and Chukotka, where they fatten and gain fat in the company of killer whales and humpbacks.

From January to April, they chose shallow lagoons, bays and bays on the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula – sharks and killer whales that pose a danger to cubs do not swim here.

In the 70s of the last century, local fishermen noticed that gray whales willingly swim up to the boats. One of them stroked the whale on the head — in response, the marine animal began to flirt peacefully with the boat. Since then, the hobby of watching gray whales has gained popularity among conscious travelers and has become on a par with photo safari and birdwatching.
