Great morning watching the whales

Todd_R, Mar 2025

The trip was very well run. The guide was a marine biologist and very informative. We saw around 20 whales. They had a quality camera and emailed us great pictures. If you are interested in whale watching, I cannot imagine not enjoying this trip.

Best whale watching in Cabo!

Cynthia_M, Mar 2025

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. This tour group is head and shoulders above the rest. If you can afford to take the private tour, do so. You won’t regret it. Give yourself plenty of time to arrive early. – Cabo is very busy and there’s lots of traffic.

Great whale watch but questions about photos

addisonelong, Jan 2025

Everything went very smoothly and the whales were beautiful, but I have yet to receive the free photos that were promised. I don't know what happened with that, the guide said they should be sent to my email in about 2-3 days, but it has been a week. Did I miss understand the timing of the photos or am I just not going to receive them?

Whale Watch!

Lucky day...we we able to see 7 whales at the same time fighting with each other! The trip was 2 hours at sea and we went to 3 different spots Saw a few juveniles.

Fabulous whale watching experience

JAMES_V, Dec 2023

Captain Hector and marine biologist Rui were fantastic. 3 whales were curious and literally played with the boat for 30 minutes. Got great photos, videos and underwater videos taken by the crew. Highly recommend!

Informative and awesome!

Gini_R, Mar 2023

We saw several whales. Our guide Maria and captain were wonderful. Maria was patient and answered all of our questions. She was very knowledgeable, and you could tell she loves her job. Our family really enjoyed the experience.
