“It would be a 5-star but 16 days later and we have yet to receive any photos from the tour! I sent an email to them and never got a response. Very disappointing because we were relying on their photos instead of taking our own so we could focus on seeing the whales. The staff on the boat was good and knowledgeable but the lack of any photos soured what otherwise was a good time.”

Fast zodiac whale watching in Los Cabos with hydrophones, expert guidance, and a boat pass by The Arch, Sea of Cortez, and Lovers Beach.

“We had a great time on this well-organized whale-watching excursion. Check-in was smooth, and the facility was clean, spacious, and easy to find. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, providing interesting insights into the marine life we encountered. We were fortunate to see several whales along with other large fish, making for an exciting experience. The reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that the tour was significantly shorter than advertised, with no explanation. The website stated the trip would last 2 hours and 15 minutes, and at check-in, we were told 2 hours and 30 minutes. However, we returned to the dock in under 1 hour and…”

“There are many options for whale watching tours in Cabo and I am so happy I chose this one. Leonardo was an excellent guide and our captain was super skilled at getting us speedily to the best spots. We saw a female whale breach many times and slap her pectoral fins countless times. It was amazing! Then we caught up to a mother whale, her calf and their escort. We learned so much from Leonardo and he also managed to take excellent photos which he sent to us without an extra charge. We went early in the morning when the ocean was calmer and didn't experience any seasickness throughout the…”
