Great Time Whale Watching and Seeing the Arch!

Great all-around experience! Very in-depth. Excellent knowledge by the marine biologist with us (Maria?) Saw more whales than expected for so late in the season. Highly recommend this tour!

An Unforgettable Whale Watching Adventure!

What an absolutely amazing whale watching experience! Our guide Adriana was phenomenal—so passionate, knowledgeable, and engaging. We saw so many whales, and she did an incredible job explaining how to identify them by their unique markings and tail patterns, which made every sighting even more exciting. Our boat driver was outstanding as well—he knew exactly where to go and was incredibly patient, skillfully stopping and waiting for the whales to resurface so we never missed a moment. You could really tell this team loves what they do. From start to finish, it was thrilling, educational, and truly unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend this tour!

Operator response

Thank you for such a glowing review! We are incredibly happy to hear that Adriana and our captain provided such a memorable experience. At Cabo Trek, we believe that understanding the wildlife, like identifying unique markings, makes the encounter even more special, so we are thrilled you enjoyed that educational aspect. We truly love what we do, and it is a pleasure to share that passion with guests like you. Thank you for the high recommendation! Beatriz

Highlight of our time in Cabo!

Cabo Trek as a company was extremely professional. The marine biologist, Maria. was extremely knowledgeable and taught us all about the whales and animal life we were viewing. Freddy was an excellent captain! They spotted whales and dolphins and made sure we were able to view them. This tour was the highlight of our trip! I highly recommend Cabo Trek!

We had a private whale...

We had a private whale watching tour scheduled but they tried to put us in a group. We paid much more for the private tour. The only reason they got a two star is because they did refund our money.

Fantastic whale-watching trip in Cabo!

Vanuza and Freddy did a great job and we saw many Mama, baby and escort whales. Lots of baby jumps, plenty of humpback action - a few as close as 10 meters from the boat! A very worthwhile experience!

Whale watching

This was an amazing experience. Maria and Adrian gave us a two hour experience that was like no other. We saw dozens of humpback and gray whales. Maria, a marine biologist, was knowledgable about all things whale related and I felt like we had a private expert the whole time. The price is very reasonable for what you get. She also took pictures and at the end we had an option to buy all of them for $50. That’s nice if you want to sit back and relax without being behind a camera. Overall 10/10. Would recommend

Excellent experience with a knowledgeable guide!!

We did a private tour with Cabo Trek. Booking was a breeze online. The email instructions and online waiver forms were easy to follow. Coming to the tour itself, the marine biologist accompanying is was Vanuza and she was excellent! Have us a lot of information about the whales and patiently answered all our questions. She also took some great pictures. We were lucky enough to spot a couple of whales breaching and followed them around for many more sightings. Overall, highly recommended.
