Overview

Experience one of Los Cabos’ most incredible seasonal events as humpback and gray whales migrate through the waters of Baja California. Keep your eyes on the horizon for mothers traveling with their calves, powerful breaches and the unforgettable moment a whale suddenly appears from the Pacific.

Our expert crew helps you spot these magnificent animals and shares fascinating insights into their behavior and migration, making every sighting even more memorable.

Between sightings, relax with an open bar, food and spectacular views of the Los Cabos coastline and the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas.

With morning and noon departures and just two hours on the water, this adventure is easy to fit into your day — whether you’re staying in Los Cabos or visiting for the day on a cruise.
