Amazing whale watching experience with a fantastic and professional team - We joined the whale watching tour at the very end of the season due to the Easter holidays, which we had to use because of our school-age children. At that time, True Baja was no longer offering tours for April. Therefore, we contacted the operator directly and received a very prompt and friendly reply saying that they would reopen the date for us.
One special aspect was that we were picked up directly at our hotel, which seems to be rather unusual in Los Cabos. Our driver, Sasha, was extremely kind and helpful and even after the tour she was available for questions and recommendations for other activities (not only those offered by True Baja).
The whale watching tour itself was very well organized. All the guides spoke very clear and easy-to-understand English and accompanied the entire tour with explanations. They were always friendly and seemed to be in contact with other operators during the trip, so after a short time we came across a whale family with three whales. They were very active, surfacing and jumping repeatedly and putting on a fantastic show.
Our boat only had a very small group on board — apart from us there were only three other guests, which we really appreciated. It was not a “party boat” with loud music and drinking, so the atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable. The team also took great photos with professional equipment during the tour, which were later shared with us for free via a cloud service.
We always kept a respectful distance from the whales and never went “chasing” them. That was not necessary anyway, as the whales stayed within sight the whole time.
All in all, it was an amazing experience with a fantastic team. 100% recommendation.

Excellent experience! - Everything was excellent! The convenience of transportation to/from my hotel to the marina was great. Both our captain and guide did a great job locating the humpback whales and even though we were nearing the end of the season, they were still able to find a mama whale, her baby, and another "protector" whale travelling together. The photos we received after the tour were so good! Way better than what I was able to capture in my shots. Just a tip for those that may get nauseous on the water, recommend taking some anti-nausea meds beforehand to make it more enjoyable. I wish I would have.

An amazing experience! - It was great! We came towards the end of whale watching season but Leonardo and the captain did a great job making sure we saw some whales. Our driver picked us up at our hotel on time and got us back efficiently. We got our photos the same night as our visit and they look amazing! We would definitely come back during December-February when the season is at its peak.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Whale Watching Experience! - Traveling from San Jose, California, and Seattle, Washington, this experience with True Baja Whale Watching Tours was absolutely worth it for both of us and easily one of the highlights of our trip to Cabo.
Our driver, Pablo, picked us up directly from our hotel right on time, which was included in the package. He was attentive, friendly, and even shared a bit of local history during the ride, setting the tone for such a great experience. The tour also includes round trip transportation to and from your hotel, which makes everything seamless. We personally chose to stay and walk around the marina afterward, but having that option was a huge plus.
Once we arrived at the dock, we were warmly welcomed by our guide, Leonardo, and our captain, Alejo. Leonardo was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire tour engaging and fun from start to finish.
The tour itself was absolutely stunning. We cruised past the beautiful granite rock formations, the iconic Arch, and Lover’s Beach. And the best part, we saw whales!!!!!! Such an unforgettable, breathtaking moment that had us in happy tears. 🥹
To top it off, the tour included photos, which made it even more special to relive those memories.
We would absolutely book with True Baja again on our next visit to Cabo.
Highly recommend!

Our family of 11 thoroughly enjoyed this tour from start to finish! - The transportation to & from our hotel made this tour very convenient. The van & the boat were very clean, but I can't say enough about the gentlemen who conducted this tour. They were very informative, accomodating & on time. The photos are fantastic & we highly recommend this first class tour!

Trip dissatisfaction. - The beginning of the trip we were out watching the whales. The captain then decided to take us on a boat tour away from the whales which took up approximately 1 hour out of our trip to see absolutely nothing. Was dissatisfied with the trip.
