Things to keep in mind while packing for a grey whale watching trip in Baja
A long and adventurous gray whale watching in Baja, California, makes you appreciate the creativity of the almighty. As the trip goes on to anywhere between 5 to 12 days, it is advised to pack mindfully so that you do not miss out on necessities.
 
How to choose the right bag?
 
As 15 kgs or 32 pounds is the maximum luggage allowance of most airlines, it is better to pack accordingly. Also, there is a standard luggage size that is permitted by the airlines. The combination of width and height should add up to 30 inches (76.2 cm) and not more than that. For example, you can pick a roller duffle bag of 14 inches (35.6 cm) width and 16 inches (40.6 cm) height or 16 inches (40.6 cm) width and 14 inches (35.6 cm) height. Also, the length of your bag should be no more than 30 inches (76.2 cm), as the sum total of length, breadth, and height should be 60 inches (152.4 cm).
 
What to carry on your gray whale watching trip?
 
  • A jacket: Usually, the temperature is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with a plus-minus of few degrees as per the season. It is ideal to carry a jacket that can save you from mildly strong winds while going out for your expedition of grey whale watching in Baja.
  • Thick pants: Due to the mildly cold temperature, it is wiser to put on thick pants, preferably a fleece one, so that you can cherish the gray whale watching experience without any discomforts. 
  • Rapid dry t-shirts/ tops: We recommend you to carry one t-shirt for each day (for example, 5 t-shirts or tops for a 5-day grey whale watching trip) so that you do not have to go through the hassle of washing and drying. However, if you are planning to wash and reuse, then pick rapid-dry sports material.
  • Important medicines: Use a small Ziploc bag or medicine organizer to keep all the medicines you take daily or frequently. For the tourists prone to motion sickness, it is absolutely necessary to take medication prior to departure. Alternatively, you can also prefer sea bands.
  • Do not forget sunscreen: It is not at all appreciated to indulge in grey whale watching without lathering yourself with at least SPF 50 sunscreen lest you might undergo extreme sunburn. 
  • A toiletry bag: Mr. Keith, a licensed operator, and owner of Jones Adventures, recommends carrying first aid items, bathroom items, and other necessary stuff so that you do not have to unpack the entire luggage.
  • Crushable hats
  • Binocular
  • Sunglasses
  • 6-7 pairs of socks (or more if your trip is longer than 5 days)
  • ID proof and other necessary documents like a passport
  • Snacks (optional)
  • Camera or phone
  • Gloves
  • Raincoat or a windbreaker
  • Rubber-soled shoes
  • Ziplock bag for toilet papers and napkins
  • An empty Ziploc pouch for dirty socks
