NOT TO ME MISSED! THRILLING!! - We went on a zodiac small group whale watching trip in Cabo with Xo as our guide and José as the captain. We were four adults and were in a boat with a total of 8 people. The trip was wonderful, and uniquely so because of this exceptional crew. They were passionate about their work, highly knowledgeable and interested in encouraging understanding, appreciation and respect for these gentle giants and for nature in general. We saw the beautiful Whales, sea lions, sea birds and the gorgeous environment from The sea. We learned so much, and saw the whales up so closely. Awe-inspiring experience- NOT TO BE MISSED! Ask for xo and José!

Awesome family memory - This was such a great experience for my family and I. We’ve never gotten so close to whales in our life! I wasn’t sure how the kids would do (9 and 7), but they loved it! It was a small group so it was intimate, we got to ask a lot of questions. Our guide Xochi was incredible and very knowledgeable which made it even more memorable.

Don’t miss this opportunity! - Book this excursion immediately! We saw many whales (and lots of dolphins, too) Our captain, JJ, was a master navigator. Clem, our guide, was such a delight. So knowledgeable and friendly. The small group size and zodiac boat made for an incredible afternoon. Highly recommend!

Lots of fun, lots of whales - PROS: 5 star is partially due to the many humpback whale sightings and good weather. The guide was easy to understand and informative; the captain steady and competent. Small size group and nimble boat gave us lots of opportunities to see the breaching whales. A plus was a large pod of dolphins that followed us for a while doing water acrobatics! CONS: boat was really too small to accommodate a “boat photographer”, a young man seemingly suffering from a hangover. When whales were sighted he would jump up to take photos and blocked many otherwise good views. The guide requested the guests stay seated to keep the viewlines open - sadly, there are always seems to be couple of people who don’t think the rules apply to them. Constantly waving, continually extended selfie sticks used by standers also blocked good views. Wish selfie sticks were not allowed. TIP: If you are coming in by cruise ship tender, it is a .8 mile walk around the entire marina to get to Cabo Experience dock (50 feet from the tender dock but across the main channel out of marina). There is no bridge there so if you are pressed for time, take a water taxi. Get a morning time cruise if possible. Better chance for activity.

Wonderful sighting of Humpbacks - We've gone on whale watching with Cabo Expeditions several times. As usual we had up close whale experiences - breaching, fin slapping, fluke tail sightings. We also were surrounded by a pod of dolphins. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions. We also enjoy riding in the Zodiac; fewer people on board and fun bouncing through the waves. The only thing that would have made the experience better was less time spent trying to hear the whales' songs. I would have preferred more actual whale sighting time and not so much time doing photographs, etc. at the Arch.

Result super - The crew was very attentive. We had enough time to observe the whales up close. Fortunately our captain left the great mass of other tour operators, after that it was really excellent. There were humpback whales, sea lions, a turtle and a huge dolphin school. Anytime again!

Not worth the paper it’s printed on - The activity was shorter than promised in the description. We were in fact not offered bottled water. It was nearly 80° and there was no water offered at all. Barely saw any whale action. I saw the whales from my condo for over an hour on 2/14 yet these guides couldn’t seem to find the whales for more than a minute or two. Had to wait 40+ minutes for transportation back to the hotel which was $10 per person. Absolutely not worth the money paid, highly recommend going with a different company if you want to actually see whales or enjoy your excursion.
