After communication with another boat to find out where the whales were, Kevin piloted the boat masterfully straight out to a pair of humpbacks! Dominique was such a lovely guide with so much to teach us and was also willing to answer questions and talk about our cetacean-related interests! What a perfect afternoon!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 178 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $215

Cabo San Lucas whale watching with rays, dolphins, sea lions, snorkeling, small groups, photos, and a strong focus on marine life safety.

“The open ocean safari could not have been more spectacular! Nick & Rafa are an awesome team and ensured we had time in the water to snorkel with beautiful fish and see so many humpback whales, dolphins & sea lions! Nick also provided much information about the marine life in the area. Great drone and underwater photography to remember it too! Highly recommend this excursion! One note: I would advise packing your patience and leaving some flexibility in your schedule. Based on our experiences with a couple excursions in Cabo, they don’t always happen as “confirmed” and there may not be much notice if any at all. Do your own…”

Review of Cabo’s small-group Zodiac whale watch, with El Arco, marine biology, fast boats, costs, comfort tips, and booking advice.

“We had a wonderful time. The whales were so close to us we could almost touch them. Our captains Jose and Ramona knew exactly where to go and when to stop the boat and let the whales come to us. The whale would swim under our boat and then raise up and look at us. This lasted almost 30 minutes. This was a trip of a life time!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 126 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $95

Small-group Cabo whale watching aboard a 40-foot catamaran, with the Arch, open bar, hotel pickup, and a two-hour cruise.

“This was a highlight of our vacation! I think we had maybe 10 people (16 is the max) on a catamaran that first took us to the famous arch and beaches and then went in search of whales. It was end of season (no more whale tours after April 15) so we had a 50/50 chance or less of seeing anything, but we lucked out. A humpback mama, baby, and a third “escort” whale graced us with their antics for over an hour. This company picked us up (they offer some resort pickups, depending on location) which was very convenient. A crew of 3 were very accommodating and helpful. We…”

This gave us extra trust in their knowledge and appreciated the moments of silence for us to talk, laugh and take in the whale sightings. We had 13 people in our group and everyone said they’d recommend Zodiac!”
