Baja California

Best time to visit Baja California

Travel Guide by Archipelago Choice

We arrange holidays to Baja California all year round but one of the major highlights for those visiting this Mexican Peninsula are the gray whales that migrate here in spring. You wouldn’t want to miss it! To witness these giants of the sea you need to visit in January, February, March, or April.

You can visit Baja California at any time of year and we’d be delighted to arrange a holiday for you. Baja California is often referred to as ‘nature’s aquarium’ because you can see pods of dolphins, whale sharks, turtles, tropical fish, and sea birds all year round. You may even spot an Orca and the beaches easily rivel those found in the Maldives!

Summary of best time to visit Baja California

In summary, the best time to visit Baja Peninsula depends on what experiences you want to enjoy whilst there. Summer time can be hot and humid but there are less visitors and it’s a great time to go snorkelling.

Those looking to head out sea kayaking should look to visit between October and early December. The Sea of Cortez (Mar de Cortés) on the eastern side of the peninsula is a great place for sighting whale sharks if you visit between October and March.
