★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,106 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $109Our pick

Join Whale Watch Cabo for a 2.5-hour trip led by a marine biologist such as Oscar, Victoria, Vittoria, or Payo. With no more than 12 people aboard, you’ll pass The Arch, Lovers Beach, and Pelican Rock before searching for humpback whales, dolphins, sea lions, turtles, and more. Photos are included, and a hydrophone may let you hear whales singing.

“The small group size (our group was 10 people) easily allowed for conversation with our guide Oscar, as well as the ability to easily see all the sights. Oscar was amazing - so knowledgeable about not only the sea life but climate change impacts and the idiosyncrasies of the geology of this area. He was also so personable, engaging and funny which contributed to an overall wonderful experience. We saw a number of whales including one full breach and another that swam right next to our boat. I loved every minute of this 2 1/2 hour adventure and would do it again in a heartbeat.”
