If I could give this crew ten stars I would! My only con was getting there! It’s quite a hike around the entire pier to the opposite side of where the cruise ship tenders take you, and unfortunately we made the choice to take a water taxi but then got double charged to just get of the taxi and walk on the 5feet of dock to the sidewalk! Such a scam!! So do the walk!!! This crew was on time, the drinks were well stocked! The crew was friendly, fun, informative, and helpful. We had the best day ! We went Feb 21, 2026, and even though we honestly saw more whales from our cruise ship , we did see a few. Not as many as our friends on another excursion the same day saw, so that was a small bummer but not a fault of this crew. They offered a small sandwich lunch and that was good, and the bathroom was clean. I honestly would pay to do this every time! It was just a fantastic day!
We've used La Princesa every time we've come to Cabo, and they are amazing! Smaller groups, fantastic for whale watching!
It was an amazing experience, a perfect tour, spending a morning at sea with family atmosphere, quiet, listening to music and getting excited to find whales. We were going with a baby, so we chose this tour, it was going to be softer:)
Wonderful experience. The crew was very attentive and friendly. A bento box lunch was included with fresh guacamole. Unfortunately I started to feel seasick, but one of the crew took very good care of me. Saw LOTS of whales and many were breaching.
We had a wonderful time with David and the driver. They were wonderfully accommodating - bringing us delicious breakfast rolls and juices, and later burritos and a final toast of tequila. David was always ready and willing to take our pictures and video when he saw us trying on our own. We were told they would do their best to find where the whales are, but you can never guarantee seeing them. We were thankful to have seen them on our ride, and we were glad to see all the boats were respectful to the wales and not chasing too close or bothering in any way. *Note to those coming from a cruise. Be aware there is a time zone difference between the cruise time and Cabo. We almost didn’t make it in time to board the catamaran in the morning.
Hello, thank you very much for your good comments, and for expressing yourself in that way about our crew, since it is of utmost importance to us that you receive excellent service... we care about safeguarding the marine life of our beautiful beaches and these beautiful aquatic creatures that visit us every year. We hope that you will come back with us soon to spend time with us and enjoy some of our activities. Greetings.
A perfect two hours. El Arco to take pictures. The crew saw whales a few minutes later. We followed a pair of humpbacks at a respectful distance for over an hour, then turned back towards the harbor. Drinks and snacks were good, the service was great and the captain provided interesting information in teo languages without talking to much. A really great tour for a great price. 5 1/2 stars!
We chose La Princesa because a few people in the party are prone to seasickness and we figured that the shorter tour on a nice wide catamaran would be the best bet. It was! Smooth ride. Lots of whales. Lots of photo ops. You’ll still want to take Dramamine if you are prone to motion sickness, but it was manageable. The staff was friendly. There were some snacks and drinks provided. The dock location is walking distance to lots of fun shopping if you want to make a day of it.
Finding location was terrible. Called they stated they would wait 5 min. Then told Viator they waited 10. Completely lied spoke to workers on dock and they left on time. Spoke to Viator sent them proof that the vendor lied but they were no help. Was in the phone for an hour starting at 9:04. Customer service is terrible. Will take issue with all social and review platforms.
Loved this excursion. It was the perfect duration, there was plenty of room on the catamaran and the 2 guys running it were great - super low key but knew what they were doing. We saw plenty of whales and enjoyed the snacks and drinks. Really good value for money. Can highly recommend.
It was truly unforgettable. The crew's friendliness added a special touch to the experience. The atmosphere on the boat was relaxed, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the whales without any distractions. We felt privileged compared to the crowded boats. Highly recommend this trip!
