This small-group whale-watching tour stands out by traveling with professional-grade hydrophones allowing travelers rare opportunities to hear the noises, better known as whale songs. Cruise out of Cabo past the famous Arch, Pelican Rock, and other top sites with marine biologists or naturalist guides who know the best places to spot whales and other animals.

Nice trip

Lisa_G, Mar 2023

We rated this trip 4 out of 5 stars. We would have given it 5 stars, but missing Hydrophones. Our tour guide Nina was very knowledgeable about whales and the migration of the species. Nice trip!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi Lisa, Thanks you very much for your comments, We are very happy that you enjoyed the trip. And Sorry about the hydrophone sometimes this happens, because there are many boats around and if we throw out the hydrophone we will hear more boat engines than whale songs. But what do you think if I invite you to come with us again so you can listen to them. Best regards

Five stars are not enough!!!

TedWendt, Feb 2023

Oh my, saw several whales, Mommas, Babies, Breaching Whales, Whale tails, everything yo would hope to see and more. Our Captain was Miguel who was an amazing Captain and very humorous, the Guide was Nina and she was just amazing very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I could not imagine having a better whale watching experience than this one. Thank you, so much!!!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Ooh thank you very much for your comments, we are very happy for you, we will remember that day for sure, we hope we can see you guys again soon! Thank you

Great day on the water with HUMPBACKS!

Joan_G, Jan 2023

Our captain was knowledgeable and skilled and our “spotter” Anastasia, was very familiar with the habits and lifestyles of Humpbacks. We saw amazing number of whales including one which surfaced very close by, giving us “close up and personal” photo opportunities. Although conditions for using the hydrophones were not great, our captain took us away from the crowded whale area to demonstrate its use and play a recording or whale communication.. My whole group of 14 were very thrilled with the experience, and Anastasia was helpful with suggestions for things to do in the Sea of Cortez.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Joan, Thanks for your comments, we are very happy for you, your family and friend, is amazing to hear their songs, we share that happiness with you :D ! We hope you come back. Thanks again Sincerely

Humpback whales

FRANK_F, Jan 2023

We only saw a couple of whales. It was disappointing. Captain of the boat was very nice and knowledgeable. It was just a bad day for finding the whales

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Mr. Frank, We are very sorry that you have not observed many humpback whales, unfortunately we do not have control of the wildlife, there are days when we can observe many, and many others as in your case. the ocean is huge, and the whales are everywhere, it's wildlife. We are glad that you have learned from the knowledge of our Captain, this lets us know that our company is doing things well, and it is good that you saw some humpback whales. Thanks for your review.
