What To Expect

You're about to join the most comprehensive Whale Watching tour in Cabo San Lucas. Our Marine Biologist will amaze you with plenty of interesting information about the area you're visiting, local histories and obviously everything there is to know about the Humpback Whales.

Our tour is 2,5 hours long, after checking-in in our office, we'll head to our boats and will start our trip by visiting some of the most iconic symbols of Cabo San Lucas: the Arch and the Sea Lion colony. Once everyone is happy with the starter we head our either to the Pacific or the Sea of Cortez depending on weather conditions and suggestions of our experts: the guide and the captain.

Little suggestion:
choose the early morning tour at 08:00 or 11:00am if you prefer calmer Oceans: those times are also good for groups with very young children, older people and people who tend to get seasick. Otherwise just take the one that better fits your schedule.

  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Transportation options are wheelchair accessible
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
