The best whale watch yet

Published on Dec, 2024

I have been whale watching every year since I’ve been coming to Cabo and this was the best experience yet. I loved having a marine biologist on board. We had several encounters with multiple whales competing. I know this is by chance, but one or two came so close to our boat. you could almost touch the tail. They made sure that we had a great experience before heading back . I love the fact they gave you free pictures so you can take it all in and not worry about getting your own shots.

10/10!!!

We had an amazing time on our tour! We were so lucky to see whales breaching and competing for mating. Our guide was knowledgeable and had so much respect for the animals. We would definitely recommend!

Great tour - lots of whales. But a word of caution to cruise ship passengers

Published on Dec, 2024

The trip was great - We first cruised by the famous arch and everyone got pictures on the front of the boat. Then the search for whales began. Even though it was technically a week before whale season, our operator found a group of 5-6 whales surfacing and jumping for quite a while. We had some amazing views and were able to get lots of good pictures. But a word of warning to cruise ship passengers : We booked the 12:00 noon trip, and our ship was scheduled to start tendering passengers around 10:30 AM. The trip's meeting point is a good 20 minute walk (for fast walkers) from the tender port, so I knew it would be tight. Then the bad news, followed by more bad news. I found out the evening before the trip that Cabo is an hour ahead of ship time. So 10:30 ship time is really 11:30 Cabo time. Our Carnival ship was giving out tender passes first come first serve starting at 8 am, so at 7:45 I went to see if there was any line - there was - it was very very very long already - I ended up getting group 22! But then the saving grace - our ship got into port a good hour early, so we were able to get on a tender around 10:30 AM (11:30 AM Cabo time), and made it to the tour on time. Had we not gotten in a hour early we would have missed our tour time. Again, it is a good 15-20 minute walk from the tender port. Just put Starbucks into Google Maps and follow the walking directions - it's just across the way from Starbucks.

Great time

Very knowledgeable and love how involved they are in taking care of the whales. It was fun following the whales and learning g about them.

Unbelievable experience!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Whale Watch Cabo provides an amazing experience. We saw many whales very close to the boat and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about whales. Would do it again and recommend it to anyone interested!
