Unforgettable Whale Watching Experience in San José del Cabo

Amazing experience! Whale watching in San José del Cabo was absolutely unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, which made the whole tour even more special and exciting. We were able to see several whales up close, and throughout the entire experience we felt comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re visiting San José del Cabo — 100% worth it!

Amazing Experience with Passionate and Respectful Guides

If you want guides who truly care about animals and the environment, this is the company to go with. I really enjoyed the experience because the guides are incredibly knowledgeable and their top priority is protecting the ocean and marine life. We were lucky enough to see many animals, always with respect and care for their well-being. They also have great equipment, and I had an amazing time. The staff is also super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!

Operator response

Thank you so much for the kind words! Caring for the ocean and the animals is the core of what we do, so reading this really means a lot to the whole crew. Stoked you had a great time with us, and that the guides and the gear lived up to it. Come back anytime, the Sea of Cortez always has something new to show. Big hug from the DIP team!

Whale watching

From the original booking Eduardo kept in contact with us. Letting us know what to expect, gave us options to do if the whales left before we got there. They were very welcoming when we got to the boat. Very professional and friendly. Saw several whales. Experience of a lifetime. Then even guided us to the local shops after our outing. I can’t recommend them enough! When we go back we will use them again! 10 out of 5 stars!!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this! Honestly, the pre-trip communication is something we care a lot about because whales do whatever whales want, and we'd rather have you ready with a plan B than show up to a surprise. Super happy it all came together and you got to see them out there. And glad the local shop tips landed too, that's just part of the DIP welcome to Cabo. Whenever you're back in town, you know where to find us. Big hug from the whole crew!

Fantastic whale watching tour!

An incredible day! Our guide and driver were both so knowledgeable, friendly and respectful of the nebula rays and whales that we saw at close proximity. The boat was very comfortable, and just a super pleasant way to spend a couple hours in the afternoon. A highlight of our trip, recommend!

Unbelievable experience

Our morning with Dip Expeditions was great. The boat was comfortable and very clean, the crew were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with this amazing experience. They even stretched the designated time to get closer to a group of whales at the end of the trip for us to get a better view of these amazing animals. Overall a great trip!
