Amazing experience - The tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. The driver did a great job navigating the other boats on the water. We saw 2 separate mom/calves whales. It was a great day !!

Awesome experience with a highly skilled pilot and a very knowledgeable and personable biologist - A mother and her calf whale put on quite a show breaching countless times. Our biologist was telling us all about the humpback whales and their behavior while our pilot assured we always had a good view

Extraordinary morning - A gorgeous day, great group of people, excellent marine biologist, skilled captain, and WHALES! So many whales we could view from a respectful distance. A dolphin leaping out of the sea, somersaulting in the air, plunging back into the depths. Pelicans, sea lions, the ocean. Perfect, memorable experience.

Great experience with Whale Watch Cabo! - Our tour with Whale Watch Cabo was fantastic! Our guide was very knowledgable about the whales in the area and was a great asset to the tour. The boat ride was enjoyable and not overly crowded. Obviously the highlight of the tour were all the whales we were able to see. Overall I would highly recommend this tour group when you're in Cabo!

Recommend this company and tour - Great guide and boat captain. We went March 9. We saw two adult whales and a baby whale learning to breach. It was fantastic. The boat was a fun ride in itself. Very knowledgeable guide, good company.

Absolutely amazing! - We had an amazing experience with Gisela and Captain Dani. Despite my previous efforts, I had never actually seen a whale in my travels in other places around the world, but this broke the curse in a big way. We saw several pairs of mamas and babies practicing their breaching, a few solo, and a rare group. Gisela was very knowledgable and fun. I was so mesmerized I didn’t get a single good photo of my own, but Gisela captured incredible photos for us so I’m glad I put down my phone and just enjoyed it (my friend got this great one below). Captain Dani navigated us swiftly to so many sightings and the small boat allowed us always to have a clear view. Other boats we saw seemed crowded and some had music playing which I thought was a shame since we would have missed the rare chance to hear a whale. So cool! I can’t say enough how great it was. We went in the morning. While we may have been extra lucky that day, I highly recommend!

Incredible experience! - We had the most amazing time on our whale watching trip! There were 8 of us in our group and it was probably the best whale watching experience we’ve ever had. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable explaining the whales and their behaviors. We were fortunate enough to see not only the calf breach, but also the momma and the male escort too! It was incredible and a sight I will always cherish! The photos they sent, which out wonderful guide took, were phenomenal!!!

Another Excellent Experience in Cabo - We have been whale watching with Whale Watch Cabo 5 times and have never been disappointed. The zodiac makes the trip an intimate experience and allows for quick access to different locations of whales. This year, we were treated to dozens of whale sightings along with an incredible opportunity to listen to singing whales via the immersible microphone. The photos taken by the biologist that we are sent are an added bonus. Having such a knowledgeable biologist along for the ride makes the tour both educational and enjoyable. We were once again impressed by the respect for the whales which isn't the case with some other companies. We look forward to February of 2025!
