Cabo Whale Watching Cruise with Open Bar
Overview
There’s something special about seeing Cabo from the water, but whale season brings an entirely different experience. Head into the Pacific in search of humpback and gray whales as they migrate through the waters of Los Cabos, with the chance to see mothers swimming alongside their calves.
Your crew will help you spot the whales and share interesting facts about their behavior and migration. This seasonal experience operates exclusively from December 15 through March 31, when these incredible animals visit the region during their annual migration.
Between sightings, enjoy views of the Arch and Cabo’s Pacific coastline, along with an open bar and onboard food — egg burritos, fresh fruit and coffee on the 9:00 AM departure, or mini baguettes and fresh fruit on the 12:00 PM departure.
Choose a morning or afternoon departure, add convenient hotel transportation if you prefer, and enjoy Cabo during one of the most exciting times of the year.
