About Keith Jones, Jones Adventures & Baja
Jones Adventures |
||
| Jones
Adventures & Baja Jones Adventures were
started because of Keith's desire to be near
the gray whales. One or two weeks wasn't enough. We began
taking small groups to Baja California to get close to the gray whales
in 1995, as Baja Jones Adventures. Since then, as Jones Adventures our small group, all inclusive tours, have spread around the globe. Our primary specialization is vacations with an animal encounter or close cultural experience as the focus point. Keith is highly skilled at leading groups to far away places in order to get close to some particular animal or to experience the "real world" people of the country we are visiting. Baja Jones Adventures is registered as California Seller of Travel #2055660-50 Our staff:
Our staff has grown along with Keiths
unquenchable desire to experience new and exciting animal encounters.
Each year we have limited intern spaces available for some lucky
souls to work with Keith and the Gray whales of Laguna Ojo de Liebre.
Since 1992 when Keith began taking people along on his adventures, every party, except one, has experienced their particular animal encounter. We are the only company in the world that ever offered a $1,500 money back guarantee trip that our guests would have the chance to touch a WILD WHALE! |

When you phone the office for last minute advice you will usually
talk to Randi, Keith's assistant. Our main office is in Southern California. We have a second seasonal office and base of operations in Guerrero Negro, near Laguna Ojo de Liebre where Keith is stationed January to April. In Thailand we operate a TAT authorized travel agency and in China we are associated with an authorized tour agency in Beijing. Our equipment includes 3 vans and two SUVs. We have dozens of snorkel outfits and several kayaks. We have too many large military style tents (those who really know Keith, will get this joke). Outdoor gear of every variety fills several storage rooms in both our Baja facility and our USA location. From GPS to depth finders to water purification equipment we continually add gear. Just as important are the hundreds of books and maps that Keith continues to accumulate. His collection of outdoor books, maps and survival stories number in the thousands. |

Keith once owned a portrait studio in a small town 60 miles north of Yosemite. He now writes about Baja travel and about gray whales. Every winter you will find him in Baja, somewhere near the Gray Whales. As the founder of Jones Adventures he has led thousands of people to Mexico.
Since 1992 Baja Jones has logged over 2000 hours observing the whales of Baja, while sitting in pangas, on the various lagoons and ocean waters of Baja California, Mexico. We believe our leader is the most knowledgeable person currently working as a whale watching guide in Mexico. His writing and photos have been published in a dozen countries and scores of magazines, newspapers and web sites. He corresponds with hundreds of writers, environmental activists, biologists, researchers, scientists, students and other whale enthusiasts each year. Each issue of our newsletter is read by several thousand people. Keith recently wrote the Gray whale section for the "Lonely Planets Guide to Cabo and Baja".
Between 2006 and 2008 Keith lived in Asia, migrating from China to Thailand and the Philippines to lead all of our tours there and to continue his work of training a guide staff..
