I cannot say enough good things about this about this tour and our guide and captain. Nikki and Dani were the absolute best! Nikki knew where to go to find the most active whales and Dani educated us on the habits and culture of whales. It helps that these ladies have a love of not only what they do but of the conservation of these beautiful creatures. Dani is a real biologist and shared a lot of knowledge with us. We even got to hear them sing! If you are wanting a booze cruise this is not that. It is a fun, informative, tour for nature lovers. Also, you might get wet so dress accordingly. You don't want to miss this tour! It's very affordable and was an amazing experience! They have 5 out of 5 starts for a reason!

Thank you so much for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the whale watching experience and appreciated our respectful approach to these incredible animals. Happy to hear you loved the photos too! We hope to see you again for another ocean adventure in Cabo!
Just goes to show you if anybody with imagination can be successful in life.
Very impressed with the young ladies who run this operation, who know a lot about the whales and probably make a pretty good amount of money during whale season.
The boat trip was a short ride with about 20 people on board out to where the whales were hunting and diving. Probably a 15 minute or so trip, maybe 20.
Once we got out there, the young female guide knew a lot about the whales and their habits. She would point to a whale that had just dived and would tell us almost exactly when the whale would surface and where the whale would surface. And she was usually spot on. She kept her distance because that is what they were supposed to do. Even though other boats that had private groups weren't following the rules and were getting way too close to the whales and getting between us and the whales so that we could not get a good view.
Because it was a small boat, it tossed and turned quite a bit, and I ended up standing up and locking my arms onto a bar supporting the canopy so that I could actually hold my phone steady and get good video. Certainly that's not the fault of the operators, it's just part of the experience. We saw whales surface. We saw a couple of breaches and plenty of tail slaps. And most of it was exactly where the guides predicted it would occur, so it was easy to capture. All in all, a great experience and highly recommended. I hope these Young ladies are very successful in this endeavor.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We truly appreciate your recognition of our team’s knowledge, dedication, and commitment to responsible whale watching. Respecting these incredible animals while sharing their behavior and natural history is at the heart of what we do. Your support means a lot to our entire team, and we hope to welcome you back to Cabo for another unforgettable experience!
This was amazing! Our guide knew the laws and how to interact with the whales appropriately. This actually was amazing, we sat in our boat and the whales came up so close to us! It was a wonderful experience. I want to go back and do it again!
We have been on several whale watching tours in different parts of the world and never had an experience as wonderful as this. Our guide was amazingly knowledgeable. The tour company is great at communicating with others guides and boats to ensure the best whale watching possible. This was an incredible experience!
An absolutely wonderful experience!
This was a small group whale watching tour, with only eight passengers on the boat! (So questions were welcomed!) This small business is run by two local women. (I love supporting local businesses!) The tour ran smoothly with easy to follow directions and prompt service. ( FYI, it Is a one mile walk or quick Taxi drive to their section of the marina - if you are getting off of a cruise ship).
Our guides were a local oceanographer and a marine biologist who frequently does wildlife educational tours in places such as Antarctica. They were both very friendly, educated and educated Us regarding these wonderful animals and their habitat. They also were extremely respectful of the animals. (Unfortunately, so many of these tour boats chase these animals relentlessly. Not Our tour!)
We arrived at the end of the season but we were still incredibly lucky to see several animals also enjoying Cabo!
Thank you so much ladies! We highly recommend your tour. Hope to see you again someday!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting our small local business! We’re so happy you enjoyed the experience and our respectful approach to wildlife. Hope to see you again someday in Cabo!
This was AMAZING. The meetup spot was easy to find and the crew was excellent. We have been on many whale watching tours in Hawaii, Alaska, Canada….but never as close as this. We got to see several breaches and a baby learning how to breathe, breach, and splash its tail…..all within a hundred feet.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your whale watching tour stood out among so many others. Seeing breaches and watching a calf learn and explore is always incredibly special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon!
They were very knowledgeable about whales and dolphins. One of two staff was a marine biologist. It was perfect tour for someone like me who wants to not only make memories but also learn about lives in ocean. I can see that they are not doing the tour just for money. They are very passionate about marine animal and protecting them from extinction by studying them. Highly recommend taking their tour and support their activity of protecting mammals.
Excellent communication from the second we booked. The female captain and nature guide for this tour were incredible and super knowledgeable. They also took incredible photos FOR FREE! We saw sea lions, sea turtles, pelicans, sharks, and about 10 humpback whales breaching, fin slapping and tail slapping. It was truly unbelievable. We were so lucky. I would highly recommend this tour!
This was the highlight of our visit! The team were very knowledgeable about the whales and migration!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for joining us. Hope to see you again soon!
This was worth every penny. Small group with very knowledgeable tour guides. Katia and Mireya were amazing. Do not hesitate to book this tour.
Crew was very helpful and knowledgeable, courteous by taking us to a convenient place to return to ship.
Crew was great and very informative. Me and the wife had a great experience and saw some whales. Would use the company again.
It was easy to find. The tour operators were friendly and knowledgeable. They are bilingual so don't fret if you only speak English. I felt safe and acknowledge. It was a small group which made it easy to get through the rhe picture to the whale watching. Especially was my guide and she was great.
Capt Belem and Maria were wonderful hosts and gave us so much great information. Their enthusiasm for whales and all marine life was simply contagious. What a wonderful experience
We were a little worried about not being able to see any whales since it was the middle of April and close to the end of the season. Luckily, we were able to observe 5 whales, including a mother and her calf. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Belin and Maria were wonderful all women
Crew definitely helped me once I booked
The wrong date and gave me
A different one and no issues
RECOMMEND this!
If your sea sick

Esme was wonderful! This tour has been my favorite thing I’ve done so far. She was informative and entertaining. We had amazing views of a mother and baby whale! Highly recommend . Also the boat ride was comfortable and quite beautiful.
This tour is a must! We spotted multiple whales and learned a bunch of facts/information along the way. The tour guide was friendly. Overall a great time!
Amazing experience. The crew was amazing - knowledgable, kind, flexible. The entire family had a great experience - we saw whales and dolphins. They really delivered!
We had Aurora as our guide and Oscar as our captain. I cannot say enough about our experience. We were within 50 meters of a humpback whale mother and her calf and saw the calf breach many times and both of them come to the surface over and over. We also were in the middle of a 100 count dolphin pod several times. It was an unforgettable experience and if we are in Cabo again we would definitely book this tour. Worth every penny. Thank you Aurora and Oscar for the memories ❤️
Very knowledgeable ladies provided a great experience! Belen and Nicki were great. (Apologies to miss spelling names)
We had a kind and knowledgeable guide and overall a great experience. This was the highlight of our trip!
Amazing experience! We saw multiple whales despite it being the end of the season. The guides were outstanding - friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend this excursion!
Excellent experience with knowledgeable people. Belem and Nicky were awesome guides and pilots. Small group was perfect.
Excellent!! Dani and Oscar were amazing! They both went above and beyond to provide a fun educational experience. We saw 4 beautiful humpback whales.
Daniela and Oscar were amazing! Very educational and the whales we saw were awesome. Covered boat so we were not baking in the sun. Small group so great attention to detail.
Captain Oscar and biologist Maria were great. We saw adult whales breaching, which was amazing, and had lots of time watching a mother whale teaching her baby how to tail slap. It was incredible to be able to witness that!
Very professional and friendly tour
Like to recommend to everyone thank u for all the memories like to come back
This was so awesome! Staff was so knowledgeable. They Explained all about the different breeds. We saw numerous whales, turtles, & sea lions. Would recommend this crew.
This was one of our best whale watches ever! Aurora, was very knowledgeable and stressed that we will be respectful of the whales and not crowd or chase them, which we both appreciated. They found a mom and baby who put on a show! The momma was tail slapping for 20 minutes and the baby breached and tail slapped that entire time. It was amazing.
