This ain’t SeaWorld, people. It’s real. Wild marine animals that want to be your friend.
You may be surprised to learn that I just petted a whale. That’s right, I said whale, not dog or cat or gerbil. Whales generally live in the ocean and are quite hard to get close to, so it requires a somewhat involved journey to go to the one place on the planet where you can actually get close enough to do this.
Some of you have taken trips out into the Pacific Ocean to watch the whale migration, which occurs each year from December to the end of April. This can be interesting, although the whales are on the move, hustling to get to Mexico where the beer is cheaper so they aren’t interested in hanging around and letting you pet them, no matter how many treats you offer.
Fortunately, Mexico bans whaling, so the population has rebounded nicely. And no one’s going into the lagoons to try to kill whales and their newborn calves. However, people are going into the lagoons to try to see them, which is a good thing, because it provides an incentive for the Mexican government to protect them even more.
Only a portion of the lagoon is open to tour boats, while most of it is off limits. This means that the only whales you see on the tour are ones who are choosing to be there, and choosing to come up to your boat and greet you. This is such a remarkable experience, to have these huge animals come over to say “hi,” that you really can’t help screaming and sometimes even crying when it happens.
