“I cant imagine someone going to cabo and not doing this. The marine biologist i forgot her name. We did the morning tour with her, was amazing. She's so passionate and loves what she does its refreshing. The whales are wonderful creatures, recommend this to anyone of any age. One thing to note women for some reason tend to get more sea sick. Even though they had some extra meds, take some early.”

Review of Cabo San Lucas whale watching with a marine biologist, small boats, El Arco, sea lions, timing tips, price, and practical advice.

“This was an awesome tour. We saw so many whales it was incredible. Full breach, saw 3. Whale tales, saw dozens. Although our captain kept our boat at a safe distance, 3 whales approached us and came within a few feet of our boat. Our crew of Vanu and Adrien were amazing and so respectful of the wildlife. As a marine biologist, Vanu was so knowledgeable and we learned so much. This was truly one of the best excursions we have ever taken.”

“The trip was perfect, nice small group size and the zodiak allows quicker maneuvering than other boats. The priority was protecting the whales and we did that while still seeing a ton of them. Great company with the right focus.”

“There are many options for whale watching tours in Cabo and I am so happy I chose this one. Leonardo was an excellent guide and our captain was super skilled at getting us speedily to the best spots. We saw a female whale breach many times and slap her pectoral fins countless times. It was amazing! Then we caught up to a mother whale, her calf and their escort. We learned so much from Leonardo and he also managed to take excellent photos which he sent to us without an extra charge. We went early in the morning when the ocean was calmer and didn't experience any seasickness throughout the…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 178 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $215

Review of Cabo’s 4-hour open ocean safari, with whales, rays, dolphins, snorkeling, small groups, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“I have to say, when I booked this experience I did zero research and chose it purely based on the pictures they posted. I really wasn’t sure if those photos were real or just clever advertising, but I took a leap of faith. Let me tell you — those pictures are 100% real and still don’t do justice to the moments we actually experienced. It was insane, to say the least. This was our first time doing a safari-style adventure on the water, but the fact that the rest of our small (!!!) group consisted of professional free divers and marine-life photographers with thousands of followers on social media speaks…”

Review of True Baja’s Los Cabos whale watching tour, with hotel transport, Arch views, bilingual guides, whale photos, and a sighting guarantee.

“This was a fabulous excursion and an incredible experience. True Baha did everything perfectly and professionally from pick-up to drop-off at our resort. And a real bonus...we were fortunate to see many highly active whales during the excursion! The guide(s) and crew really know what they are doing and provided great information. Overall, this True Baha whale watching excursion delivered incredible value for the cost. If you want to go whale watching in Los Cabos...book this excursion! It's a no-brainer!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 126 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $95

Review of Cabo’s small-group whale watch to the Arch, with hotel transfers, open bar, catamaran comfort, costs, and practical tips.

“This was a highlight of our vacation! I think we had maybe 10 people (16 is the max) on a catamaran that first took us to the famous arch and beaches and then went in search of whales. It was end of season (no more whale tours after April 15) so we had a 50/50 chance or less of seeing anything, but we lucked out. A humpback mama, baby, and a third “escort” whale graced us with their antics for over an hour. This company picked us up (they offer some resort pickups, depending on location) which was very convenient. A crew of 3 were very accommodating and helpful. We…”

“Really easy to find the meeting spot. If on a cruise, only 2 minute walk. Small boat was perfect for a few groups. Pictures came about a week later and that was nice to not be trying to get all the photos (they have a nice big telephoto lens). We watched several groups of whales. Amazing natural behaviors.”

See Cabo’s Arch, search for whales, and enjoy dinner, drinks, music, and dancing on this lively 2.5-hour sunset catamaran cruise.

“Our tour guys were all great! I believe there were 5-6 guys on the boat who all did a fantastic job. They were always asking us if we were doing ok and if we needed anymore to drink. Not to mention the drinks were great too, not watered down by no means. The food was good too. They served tacos and made sure there was enough for everyone since there was seconds and thirds. The music was hitting bumping as there were line dances and just music to dance to. Yes, you can dance to your hearts content. We had a fun group too which can make a difference. Coming…”
