We had a fantastic time with our crew! We saw 20 breaching! The water was super rough, but not once did we feel unsafe. Brilliant experience!

Keep watching!
William_B, Mar 2024
Jose and Luis were excellent Captain and Skipper for our adventure. Jose obviously has much experience observing the habits of the amazing humpback whales, because when he said keeping watching, we were rewarded by an amazing acrobatic whale breach! Maintained the boat at a respectful distance of mom & calf, which as whale watching enthusiasts is important to us. We didn’t miss any of the action and highly recommend!

Cabo whale watching
MINAKSHI_P, Feb 2024
Jose was very informative. Service was great. Enjoyed whale watching. Unforgettable experience. Viator states ride pickup/drop off included in the booking. But it’s not all true. It’s free for 4 people pick up. I paid $20. Need to correct.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hello , thank you for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed your time with Jose. The reason you paid is because the distance of the hotel where staying is out of our operational area. Thank you I will make the note so more guests doesn't get confused, this doesn't happens often. See you next time
Great experience
Christina_N, Jan 2024
Great whale watching experience! Saw calves with their mothers and about 5 more whales showing off. I felt safe the whole time and the guides were great and predicting where the whales were going to come up!

Whale watching of a life time
Andrea_P, Jan 2024
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!!

Its all in knowing where to go.
Jim_C, Jan 2024
Captain Jose knew just where to go. All of the other boats went to the Pacific side, CJ went toward the Gulf. We had unrestricted viewing of a Mom, calf and nurse whale. Great job by the crew.
MUST DO THIS
Steven_B, Dec 2023
So much fun. Jose and Romel wanted to make sure we saw whales and we did. We were the last boat out. Great pictures.
Great Day on the Water
Denise_S, Mar 2023
Jose was fantastic. We were in a Zodiac boat and we were out quite far at times and never felt unsafe. We got to see a lot of whales and some dolphins, all very close to the boat. We will do this again when we come back in February next year! Thanks for the great day!
Whales!
Joseph_P, Mar 2023
Great tour guide! He knew where to find the whales. Informative and personable. Great boat and beautiful setting.
Great Excursion!

My wife and I came to Cabo to see whales, and we saw whales! Our guide did an amazing job finding, spotting and getting use close to gray whales and humpback whales. I highly recommend Cabo Expeditions.

Dawn_S, Apr 2022
One of the best adventures our family has been on to date!!! We were able to see tons of hump back whales up and personal! In addition, we were also lucky to see a sea turtle swimming around too....I would highly recommend this adventure if you are in Cabo in March. Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew how to find them!
Fun whale watching trip
Jeffrey_A, Mar 2022
Lots of fun. Fernando and Julio were able to find the whales even though it was late in the season and migration had begun. Still saw many, running alongside a pair at one point.

Overall it was an amazing tour, saw many whales and dolphins. It would have been better to have fewer people in the boat. Many times the view was blocked by other people standing and was difficult to take photos.
Jaime, gran capitán
Hedvika_S, Mar 2023
Excelente servicio, Jaime fue un gran capitan del bote. Super recomendado y garantizada la experiencia observación de ballenas con el. Gracias
