FAQS

When is whale watching season in Los Cabos?

Whale watching season in Los Cabos is at its peak from December to mid-April, offering an exciting opportunity to witness the wide variety of whales that grace our waters.

Can you guarantee whale sightings on this tour?

While we can't provide an absolute guarantee, our experienced guides will lead you to the best spots during the peak season, making your journey filled with thrilling possibilities. In January and February, the chances of spotting whales are exceptionally high.

What types of whales are commonly spotted in the Sea of Cortez?

Humpback whales are the most commonly sighted species in the Sea of Cortez and are truly spectacular to watch, especially when they breach and perform tail slaps. During the winter months, you may also come across orca whales and gray whales. While less commonly spotted, Bryde's whales and minke whales can also make rare appearances.

Is whale watching in Cabo family friendly?

Absolutely! Whale watching in Cabo is an exhilarating and educational activity suitable for adventurers of all ages!

How close do the whales get on this tour?

While we prioritize safety and respect for these magnificent creatures, most of the time, we can approach the whales to within a few hundred feet. Rest assured you'll still enjoy heart-pounding, up-close views and incredible photo opportunities.

How far off the coast do we go?

On our Cabo San Lucas whale-watching trips, we're always on the go, adapting to the whales' movements. These majestic creatures tend to traverse the bay, so we adjust our course to stay close. While they primarily frequent the coastline between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, we also explore the Pacific side.

What type of camera should I bring?

Taking photos of whales can be both exciting and intimidating. It's unlikely you'll time their jump perfectly, so a surefire way to capture these majestic creatures on your cell phone every time is to set your camera's settings to live mode (if you have an iOS) or take photo bursts.

If you're equipped with more professional gear, pairing it with a telephoto lens like the 70-200mm is essential to capture the whales' scale and scope. Just remember to take precautions to shield yourself, your equipment, and any companions from unexpected splashes of water, and don't forget to ensure everything is fully charged before your adventure!

I'm traveling on a cruise ship. Can I still book a tour with you?
