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.

The RIGHT company for Whale Watching in Cabo! - With 2 floating cities anchored in the harbor, the hustle for tourist dollars on the malecón was frenetic and overwhelming. I had researched this company, and attracted by the promise of "a biologist on board," made a beeline for their permanent counter, where the professional and personable Beatriz made me feel immediately that I had made the right choice for a whale watching adventure. On board were only 2 other passengers, plus our able captain and the wonderfully informative biologist, Angelica. She was also a wildlife photographer, involved in identifying whales for a data base, so snapped amazing pictures throughout, while teaching us about the marine life. She was clearly passionate about whales, and knew the answers to any questions we posed. The captain was an expert boat handler, whether maneuvering for a photo angle or keeping tabs on the whales. Together they soon found us a mother and baby to watch and, after we enjoyed them for awhile, found 3 more swimming together, which we followed. This is nature, and there are no guarantees. But we had a truly memorable adventure, thanks to the knowledge of our team!

Wonderful whale watching - Absolutely amazing! I never thought whale watching would be so fun honestly. It was a wonderful boat ride with a small group of 12 people. I can’t remember our guide’s name (Venu??) but she was FANTASTIC. Marine biologist with so many fun facts for us and the pictures she took were super pro! Super afforable photo package with a ton of photos of the whales, dolphins, pelicans, and sea lions that we saw. Also we got photos of and with El Archo. She all was able to airdrop all of the photos straight to my iphone! Our boat captain was great. 10/10 would do again!

Marine biologist guide... - Marine biologist guide was outstanding and very knowledgeable. Our kids were hanging on every word she said. Our boat Capt knew just where to go to ensure we saw whales and spent extra time making sure we had the most amazing experience! The small group experience was perfect for us. We loved the safety precautions with mandatory life vests having younger children onboard too. High, high recommend.

Amazing whale watching trip!! - The tour was amazing! We were a little bit worried that we won’t see whales braces it was the last days of the season, but our guide and boat captain were so professional and were so insuring and we found whales very quickly! Angelika knows so much about whales and it was an amazing time seeing them so close and hearing intrasting facts about their life and journey in Baja California! I will definitely recommend and come back!

Excellent whale watching in Cabo! - We had an amazing tour with Cabo Trek. Very well organized. As it was April we did not necessarily expect to see many whales. However, we really lucked out seeing several whales with their young. It was a highlight of our vacation. Would highly recommend this tour.

Very good and ethical whale tour! - Such an amazing comapny! Being able to look for whales with a marine bioligist was super cool, I could tell how much she truely cared and loved the whales, very ethical. We learned so many cool facts, and saw not one, but two moms with their babies, as we traveled way out away from all the chaos of the other whale boats. I would definitely reccomend Cabo trek over all the other companies we ran across on the marina!

MInd Blowing Humpback Whale Watching Experience!!! - Absolutely AMAZING!!! We have done Whale Watching in the past in other places but have NEVER seen anything like we experienced on this excursion. Multiple humpback whales ranging from very young to huge older males. The males were "putting on a show" for a female and it was incredible. Over and over they breached, rolled, swam on their backs waving their fins in the air, etc. Absolutely the best whale watching ever an VASTLY better than we had ever expected.

Knowledgeable, small groups - Highly recommend this wonderful whale watching trip. Our guide Vanu was a real marine biologist (I was originally skeptical but she really was) and she was so incredibly knowledgeable about whales. Her stories about tracking whales migration from Russia, Hawaii and other places to Cabo were wonderful. She even could predict when the whales might breach. We got up and close to a few families of whales, our captain Freddy must communicate sightings with other tour boats. Also I never felt sold - it was all about enjoying our whale watch. Also got up and close to the arch as a part of this tour. So pleased with them, pick this one
