Miguel was awesome and we saw three sets of whales! He answered all our questions and was excited as we were to see them! It was a very windy day here and choppy day but he was safe on the ocean.

Humpbacks in Cabo

We were a group of 4, two over sixty couples. Our 11:00 a.m. tour included sightings of several mother and baby humpbacks, a few jumping rays, and a large pod of bottlenose dolphins. The title of the tour mentioned that we could "hear" the whales, and I guess we did if you count slapping pectoral fins on the water. We saw a tail once and a breach twice. The guide Miguel was very good, he knew a lot about the whales and other species (although not a Marine Biologist as mentioned on the Viator app where we booked.)

Operator response

Awesome! What a magical experience to see all of that! The listing says, "Your whale watching tour in Cabo San Lucas will become magical with the help of professional-grade hydrophones. If whales are communicating, you may be lucky to get the rare opportunity to hear the whale songs live!" Approximately 85% of the time they are talking under water and you can hear them- other reviewers talk about hearing them on their tour. Also, there is always a marine biologist on board- reviewers speak of that too. If Miguel wasn't certified, then another crew member was. Regardless, we are so glad that at over sixty years old you were still able to experience so much! This adventure really is for all ages. Please enjoy the rest of your time in Cabo :)

Spectacular whale experience!

We booked our tour the morning of and was able to get on the 2pm tour. After a little miscommunication about where to meet, I called the company and they were very helpful with connecting us with our boat captain. It turned out we were the only people which made for a wonderful private experience. Our captain, Miguel was so friendly and made our trip amazing. We got very lucky and he found two large male whales right away and we saw them breach multiple times. He was very considerate of observing the rules of engaging with the animals and knowledgeable on their behavior. We went in search to find a mama and baby and with his experience, we found a very playful baby and loving mother whale. It was wonderful to see them interact together. It was an amazing afternoon and nature did not disappoint!

Operator response

I am so happy to hear this!!!!! Thank you for sharing :) Have a great time in Cabo!
