“From arrival at the office, the short walk to the boat, and on the water everyone was friendly knowledgeable and professional. Once we were out on the water it wasn't long until there were humpback whales spotted. Sophia set up the hydrophone and we were able to listen to the singing. There were several breaches and quite a few tails in the air as they made their deep dives. We found the marina at San Jose del Cabo to be a welcome change from Cabo.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $120

Review of San Jose del Cabo whale watching, with small groups, East Cape views, expert guides, snacks, pricing, tips, and booking advice.

“Amazing experience. This is our second experience with the Dip and both times exceeded expectations. This time around we had so many whale sightings there were actually several breaching next to our boat. Later on we saw jumping devil rays which is a truly wild thing to observe. Truly spiritual experience with marine life. The pilot and guide know everything about marine biology and answered all our questions confidently. It was exhilarating and rewarding but a bumpy ride so take your seasickness meds. Wear a hat and sunscreen. Dont go elsewhere - the dip are straight shooters with fair pricing. They always spot something exciting! Thx Fran and Matt!”

It was just watching and observing, no disturbing them. Lots of whales crossed our way. We shot some awesome pictures and caught beautiful views over the coastline. We also saw manta rays. It was a perfect trip for the animals and as humans with a great crew.”
