Great. Saw whales right away. Loved the respect shown to the whales.

This whale watching tour totally exceeded my expectations. Our guide Aurora and captain Belem were fantastic - such strong knowledge of Humpback and Gray Whales. We saw several whales, got to hear males singing on the hydrophone, and saw a male breach a few times. Totally amazing. The boat was simple and the tour small, I would recommend it highly.

Highlights

  • Travel in the company of a qualified marine biologist
  • Listen to the underwater song of these beautiful creatures
  • Have your experience captured on camera by the crew

Full description

Climb aboard a super-fast and comfortable RIB boat and embark on your whale-watching adventure, starting with a boat ride past Cabo's most important landmarks.

After a quick safety briefing, your captain and onboard marine biologist will take you to Land's End, one of Cabo's most famous rock formations. From here, admire Pelican Rock, Lover's Beach, Neptune's Finger, and of course the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas, where you will stop to take some photos. You will also be able to spot a friendly colony of sea lions along the way.

Afterwards, head out to either the Sea of Cortez or the Pacific Ocean to spot some humpback whales. Keep an eye out for other marine animals such as blue whales, orcas, dolphins, and many other animals. Once you have spotted one of these majestic creatures, learn more about them from your expert guide. Use a hydrophone to listen to their breathtaking song for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
