Description
Come live the most magical moment of the ocean in Cabo San Lucas. I invite you to join me to find the majestic humpback whales, which every season return to our waters to sing, play and dance with their young. It's not just a tour... it's connecting with something bigger than us. We will sail the open sea, away from the crowds, enjoying the silence, wind and beauty of Baja California Sur. During the tour, I share with you stories, knowledge and the passion that a lifetime at sea has given me. We don't just watch whales here... We respect them. We honor them. And we let them decide how they approach us. If you are looking for an authentic, intimate and real experience... this one is for you. Come feel the energy of the ocean, get excited by the jumps and chants, and take a memory that stays forever in your heart. Whale Watching in Cabo San Lucas Connect with nature. Connect with you.

Saw several whales
Miguel was great at spotting whales and he had so much interesting information to tell us about whales. The boat was small and pretty rough at the beginning, but by the end it was worth it, we saw several whales. I think Miguel was more excited than us about seeing the whales! He seems to love his job.

What an amazing day!
I was a bit worried booking at the end of March, thinking whale activity might be low—but wow, what an experience! Captain Javier was amazing—super friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He not only found whales for us, but even taught us how to spot them ourselves, which made the whole experience even more special. We ended up having a private tour since no one else joined, which made it feel even more personal and fun. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Julian greeted us, clearly explained where to go (including the dock fee), and guided us to the boat—such a great first impression. Overall, an unforgettable experience with a fantastic team. We would definitely book with them again!

Anxious start, fabulous finish
The trip got off to an anxious start as my boat was late and I was the only one waiting for the 2:00 PM departure. However, once the boat arrived I was off to a wonderful few hours watching whales and visiting the Arch with nobody blocking my view as I was the only passenger!
Operator response
The important thing for us is that they take the best impression of our port and the quality of our services

Awesome and Accommodating
The staff was fantastic and knowledgeable. They helped my 76 year old mother and catered to her as if she were their mother. The whales were beautiful and the driver knew where to find the best spots for viewing. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great wildlife experience with Julien and Jesus.
What a great experience and crew! Julian and Jesus were energetic and found us a bunch of whales, dolphins, and sea lions all in the same area away from all the other boats.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your valuable opinion on our page, we do what we can, the sea is extremely generous, thank you very much

Best 3 hours
I ended up going out on the boat alone as the other passengers did not show up. I had a private boat trip and it was fantastic. Spent 2 hours watching a mama and baby humpback playing in the sea and also some larger males later on. Visited the arch briefly and watched some sea lions surfing behind the boats. The whole experience was fantastic and Xavier was kind and a safe driver
Operator response
Thank you for your opinion that day was very strange but in the end the activity was done
