Educational, fun, great crew. - Great experience. Crew was wonderful. Unlike other tours that all cluster together in groups of boats, this crew finds solo quiet spots. Small boat handled the swells well. Highly recommend!

Great tour! - Great experience! Our guide/captain put us onto the whales away from the hoards of other boats. We had the whales completely to ourselves. Surreal!

Educational and compassionate whale watching experience - Thank you Whale Watch Cabo and Josephine for a wonderful experience! We learned so much about humpback whales, the captain and our guide were knowledgeable about the waters and these incredible animals. They were respectful of the rules and taught us how to admire these animals safely and compassionately. We encourage all travelers to seek tour operators that place whales and all animals at the core of their operations.

Best Day of my Life - We had the most logical experience abroad the Zodiac with Victoria! She was so knowledgeable and being aboard with a marine biologist as we were seeing these majestic creatures made the experience that much more impactful. The Zodiac boat allows you to get up close and personal with these animals safely. We could see them swimming below us and were in awe. We had a very lucky day and 3 whales stayed with us the entire time. Bring your good vibes and energy and the whales will surely follow! 100/10 recommend to anyone! Note: the boat does get very choppy so if you have back pain or get queasy easily, this boat type is not for you.

Unforgettable experience! - We had a wonderful time whale watching with Javiera (Javi), our biologist guide, and Kevin, our captain! Our patience paid off and after about an hour and a half we connected with two whales and traveled alongside them for about 20 minutes, watching them spray through their blowhole, show their tails, and breach multiple times on both sides of the boat, once as close as 20 feet away. It was an amazing experience. We definitely recommend the small group Zodiak boat experience.

Perfect tour with Whale Watch Cabo - We saw multiple humpback whales. Victoria was a great tour guide, and our boat captain navigated the sea traffic and waves expertly. No whales were singing today, but Victoria had a recent recording. Highly recommend the tour and I appreciated their respect of the whales, we travelled to multiple spots to try to get away from other boats. Also saw swimming sea lions and lots of pelicans. Pictures are included, but take your own phone if you want videos, Wonderful day, exceeded expectations.

Great Whale Watching Experience! - My husband and I went on this whale watching tour in December 2025. It was a nice little group of us with only about 10 people on our boat. We saw numerous whales and had plenty of time to take photos both of the whales and our surroundings. Our guide Oscar was knowledgeable about the whales, and our captain Kevin handled the boat nicely.

Absolutely unforgettable whale watching experience - We went out on Christmas Day with Whale Watch Cabo, and it was incredible from start to finish. The zodiac boat made the experience feel adventurous and intimate, and we saw so many humpback whales — including two breaching at the same time multiple times. It was truly breathtaking. We also saw pods of dolphins weaving around the whales, along with pelicans and sea lions, which made the whole experience feel like a true wildlife safari on the water. Our guide was a marine biologist and she was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. She explained whale behavior, migration, and what we were seeing in real time, which made the experience even more meaningful. They also have a hydrophone available so you can listen to whales singing when they’re underwater — we didn’t end up using it only because the whales were so active above the surface, but I thought that was such a cool option. The tour was very well run, felt safe, and was clearly respectful of the animals. I also appreciated that they offer to take you out another day if you don’t see whales. We were beyond lucky and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend. 🐋✨
