WHALE WATCHING SAN JOSE DEL CABO

A Magical Encounter with the Giants of the Ocean

Every winter, the warm and calm waters of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez set the stage for one of the most breathtaking natural spectacles on Earth: the arrival of the whales. Experience the thrill of witnessing these gentle giants up close in a journey that blends adventure, wonder, and deep respect for nature — Whale Watching.

From December through April, thousands of whales migrate to the waters around Los Cabos to breed, give birth, and nurse their calves. This creates one of the few opportunities in the world to observe them in their natural habitat, surrounded by stunning landscapes and vibrant marine life.

Set out aboard your choice of a luxury yacht, a fast boat, or a traditional panga, and encounter humpback whales, gray whales, and — with a little luck — the elusive blue whale, the largest animal on the planet. Along the way, you may also spot dolphins, sea lions, turtles, and a variety of seabirds, making the experience even more magical.

Guided by expert captains and marine biologists, you’ll gain fascinating insights into whale behavior: breaching, tail slaps, pectoral fin waves, and tender moments between mothers and calves. With an optional onboard hydrophone, you can even listen to their haunting songs beneath the waves — an unforgettable memory of connection with nature.

Responsible whale watching, following international conservation guidelines
Certified guides with in-depth knowledge of whales and marine ecosystems
Optional onboard hydrophone to hear the whales singing underwater
