The Best Whale Watching in San Jose del Cabo
Overview
Our whale watching tours are designed for travelers who want more than a simple ride on the water. We create experiences that combine adventure, learning, and respect for nature. Guided by certified marine biologists and local ocean experts, you will discover how whales migrate, communicate, and care for their young.
We keep our groups small to ensure comfort, safety, and a deeper connection with the ocean. Our boats are stable and spacious, built for smooth navigation and wide views. You can take photos, ask questions, or simply sit back and listen to the whales breathing around you.
If you have ever dreamed of seeing whales up close, this is your moment. The season in Baja brings hundreds of humpback whales that fill the ocean with energy, movement, and sound. From the first blow on the horizon to the unforgettable moment when one breaches beside the boat, every sighting feels alive and real.
