What Travelers Are Saying
"Humpbacks everywhere!"
We saw at least 8 humpback whales on our trip including a full breach right next to the boat. The captain knew exactly where to find them and the crew were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. An absolutely incredible wildlife experience that we'll never forget.
"Bucket list experience"
Watching humpback whales breach in the wild is something I've always wanted to do and this exceeded every expectation. The crew were expert at finding the whales and positioning the boat perfectly. The Sea of Cortez is stunning. A truly magical experience.
"Incredible wildlife encounter"
The whale watching in Cabo is world-class and this tour delivered. We saw multiple humpbacks including a mother and calf. The crew were passionate about the whales and shared fascinating information throughout. One of the best wildlife experiences of my life.
"Amazing, go in January or February"
The whale watching was incredible — we saw multiple humpbacks including a breach. The crew were knowledgeable and the boat was comfortable. Go in peak season (January-March) for the best chance of sightings. A wonderful experience.
