Review of Cabo’s small-group whale watch with a marine biologist, free photos, The Arch, and a whale sightings guarantee.

“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 Puerto Vallarta’s biologist-led whale tour, with humpbacks, dolphins, research, practical tips, price, boat details, and FAQ.

“Camilla & Jorge were so incredible! They were so kind and ensured we were comfortable and taken care of. We enjoyed the information they shared about the whales. They were very passionate and excited to share their knowledge with us. Jorge was a safe driver and Camilla made us yummy sandwiches. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone! We took our 3 teenagers on it and they loved it. We SAW so many whales, it was so incredible! I can’t say enough good things about them.”

Review of Cabo’s small-group Zodiac whale watch with marine biologists, free photos, hydrophone, whale guarantee, and practical booking tips.

“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.”

6.Sesimbra: Arrábida Dolphin and Whale Watching with Biologist

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 310 reviews · 3 hours · from $64Best value

Review of Sesimbra’s 3-hour dolphin and whale tour with a marine biologist, wildlife sightings, coastal caves, and a swim at Ribeiro do Cavalo Beach.

“We had a great time on the tour today. Absolutely worth the money and getting to Sesimbra from Lisbon. The guide was knowledgeable, the dolphins were amazing, and my kiddos had a spectacular time jumping off of the boat into the crystal blue water. One of the advantages of this tour is that it was a very small boat, which meant we could see the dolphins extremely well and were much closer to them than the folks on the other boats that we saw.”
