Great captain and biologist. All female boat team. They had us on whales 4 different times. They used an under water cam and hydrophone at one point. They were very protective on the whales and the approaches were very quiet. They aware of other boats around us that were not following rules and guidelines and pressuring the whales. We all were very impressed and impacted by the knowledge.

Directions were clear of where to meet. We always felt safe, captain was great! Tequila 1 was our boat and Aurora was the guide. We saw many whales, three who came up to our boat. Aurora was very informative. I appreciated how careful and respectful of the whales they were and left if too many boats came around. I would go again!

Mariana and our captain Nicky were amazing! Mariana was very informative and knowledgeable. Her experience as a biologist was a huge plus. We learned so much. They found us two different mother and cub combos and a mattering battle between multiple males over one female which was awesome! Will definitely use this service again!

Must do this tour in Cabo!!

Benjamin_H, Apr 2026
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.

Tomoe_T, Apr 2026
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.

WOW! Completely unexpected day!

Heidi_S, Apr 2026
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!

Highly recommend this tour! The other boats were not able to get as close!

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.

Amazing experience. The crew was amazing - knowledgable, kind, flexible. The entire family had a great experience - we saw whales and dolphins. They really delivered!

Lifetime Memories Made

Amy_W, Apr 2026
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 ❤️

Incredible day on the water!

Lori_C, Mar 2026
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.

Amazing! Even at the...

Danielle_F, Mar 2026
Amazing! Even at the tail end of the whale migration season, our guide patiently led us to the sweetest sight: a mother humpback teaching her baby to flap its tail. Our guide answered questions and shared her knowledge of whales throughout the tour.
