点评:We have no words to express how deeply we loved our stay and tours with Pepe. My boyfriend and I first spent a night at the hotel and had an unforgettable whale-watching tour the following morning. Pepe knew exactly where to go to find whales, birds, dolphins, or any other incredible creature and breathtaking spot in Magdalena Bay. He is truly experienced and deeply passionate about the bay and its wildlife. As an ethical tour operator, he is highly respectful of whales and their environment while always striving to give people the best possible experience. His English is excellent, too.
On our first tour, gray whales glided beside the boat after surfacing all around us. After spending a few days exploring Baja and other lagoons, we decided to return to Pepe for one last adventure, hoping for an even closer whale encounter. And magically, it happened! The tour began on a misty morning, with thick fog. We couldn' see whales, but we could hear their breaths as they moved around us. It was an indescribable experience. Somehow, Pepe knew exactly where to find them, despite the limited visibility.
When the sun came.out, we passed a bird sanctuary where hundreds of birds were resting, filling the small island with life. And then, the whales appeared—many in the distance, some closer, until one swam right up to the boat, almost as if seeking attention. And we, of course, offered all the love we could! What an incredible, almost spiritual experience. I will always be grateful to Pepe for this.
But that wasn’t the end of our adventure. After the whales, we found ourselves in a spot teeming with dolphins—some peacefully swimming, others jumping high through the waves. Absolutely mesmerizing. And as if that wasn’t already magical enough, we continued toward the Pacific, where we spotted sea lions sleeping on the shore. On our way back, we passed the bird island once more, just in time to witness a breathtaking moment—the entire flock suddenly took flight in a majestic, synchronized chaos. It was nature’s raw power and beauty on full display.
And still, the surprises kept coming. We saw schools of sardines, stingrays, and even a lone coyote wandering near the sand dunes.
Those five hours were the most magical moments of our entire three-week journey through Baja California—something we will never forget. And it was all thanks to Pepe. Both he and his wife Jacibe are incredibly dedicated and genuinely kind people who do their work with love and passion.
They also manage the hotel with great care. The rooms are spotlessly clean, offering a charming view of the bay and a cozy patio with chairs to enjoy the sunset. Breakfast is delicious, and the shared space where guests gather feels just like home. The place itself is beautifully simple—its charm lies in its authenticity. There is no luxury here; the only glamour is nature itself.
The second time we returned for our final tour, we felt like we were coming home. And we loved that feeling. We’ll surely be back. In the meantime, we truly recommend anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming, and heartfelt experience in Baja to visit Pepe and Jasibe in their little gem.
翻译:我们无法用语言表达我们对与 Pepe 一起住宿和游览的热爱。我和我的男朋友首先在酒店住了一晚,第二天早上进行了一次难忘的赏鲸之旅。Pepe 确切地知道去哪里可以找到鲸鱼、鸟类、海豚或任何其他令人难以置信的生物以及马格达莱纳湾的壮丽景点。他经验丰富,对海湾及其野生动物充满热情。作为一名有道德的旅行社,他非常尊重鲸鱼及其环境,同时始终努力为人们提供最佳体验。他的英语也很棒。
在我们的第一次旅行中,灰鲸在我们周围浮出水面后在船旁滑行。在花了几天时间探索巴哈和其他泻湖后,我们决定回到 Pepe 进行最后一次冒险,希望能更近距离地与鲸鱼相遇。神奇的是,它发生了!旅行开始于一个雾蒙蒙的早晨,雾气浓重。我们看不到鲸鱼,但我们可以听到它们在我们周围移动时的呼吸声。这是一次难以形容的经历。尽管能见度有限,佩佩还是知道在哪里可以找到它们。
当太阳出来时,我们经过了一个鸟类保护区,那里有数百只鸟在休息,让这个小岛充满了生机。然后,鲸鱼出现了——许多在远处,一些在近处,直到有一只游到船边,几乎像是在寻求关注。当然,我们尽我们所能给予它们爱!这真是一次不可思议的、几乎是精神上的体验。我将永远感激佩佩。
但这并不是我们冒险的结束。看完鲸鱼后,我们发现自己身处一个充满海豚的地方——有的在平静地游泳,有的在海浪中高高跃起。绝对令人着迷。似乎这还不够神奇,我们继续向太平洋驶去,在那里我们看到了睡在岸边的海狮。在回来的路上,我们再次经过鸟岛,正好见证了一个令人惊叹的时刻——整个鸟群突然在雄伟、同步的混乱中飞翔。大自然的原始力量和美丽得到了充分展示。
然而,惊喜不断。我们看到了沙丁鱼群、黄貂鱼,甚至还有一只孤独的郊狼在沙丘附近徘徊。
这五个小时是我们整个三周的下加利福尼亚州之旅中最神奇的时刻——这是我们永远不会忘记的。这一切都要归功于 Pepe。他和他的妻子 Jacibe 都是非常敬业和真诚善良的人,他们用爱和激情做着自己的工作。
他们还非常细心地管理着酒店。房间一尘不染,享有迷人的海湾景色,舒适的露台上摆放着椅子,可以欣赏日落。早餐很美味,客人聚集的共享空间感觉就像家一样。这个地方本身非常简单——它的魅力在于它的真实性。这里没有奢华;唯一的魅力就是大自然本身。
我们第二次回来进行最后一次旅行时,感觉就像回家了。我们喜欢这种感觉。我们一定会回来的。与此同时,我们真诚地建议那些想要在巴哈享受宁静、热情和真挚体验的人去拜访 Pepe 和 Jasibe 的小宝贝。
