Whale Watching

The OFFICIAL WHALE WATCHING SEASON is from December 15th to April 15th.

The best time of year for whale watching in San Jose del Cabo is between late December and the end of March. At this time, you’ll have the highest chance to witness fantastic whale interactions.

In terms of the BEST time of the day, please take the following consideration:

• 09:00 am tour: usually flat ocean. People who tend to get seasick, families with young children, and older adults prefer this tour.
• 02:00 pm tour: this trip is for the real adventurer. This tour is where great whale activity is possible. The ocean is regularly choppy; chances are high you will get wet!

Note: Women that may be pregnant should not take this tour.

Whales are here before and after the official season. If you travel in late November or early December, you may get to see mother whales and their newborn calves! Contact us to book a whale watching tour in the early season.

Our boat is licensed for up to 18 people. For comfort, safety, and the best overall experience, we keep the groups small. Our whale watching tours in San Jose del Cabo run from two to ten or twelve guests.

This is a 3-hour whale watching tour, so there is not really much you need taking into consideration that San Josè del Cabo has pretty nice temperatures at this time of the year.

Nevertheless, if you are booking an early morning tour, 09:00 am, you may consider taking with you a sweater and long pants.

A MUST on every trip:

• Reef-safe sunscreen or rashguard
• Sunglasses and hat

Your whale watching tour is an excellent opportunity to see diverse marine life. You may encounter humpback, gray whales, blue whales, sperm whales, fin whales, pilot whales, Bryde’s whales, and Orcas. All of these whales roam the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean.
