What an awesome experience. Our crew treated us to breathtaking views, excellent service and a lifetime of memories with the whales. Our captain knew where to navigate so we had the best views. He explained what the whales were doing, the type of whales and when the tails were out. In addition, coffee, beer, and yummy food.

Terrible customer service
steven_l, Feb 2024
Finding location was terrible. Called they stated they would wait 5 min. Then told Viator they waited 10. Completely lied spoke to workers on dock and they left on time. Spoke to Viator sent them proof that the vendor lied but they were no help. Was in the phone for an hour starting at 9:04. Customer service is terrible. Will take issue with all social and review platforms.
Definitely work the money
Nicola_M, Feb 2024
Loved this excursion. It was the perfect duration, there was plenty of room on the catamaran and the 2 guys running it were great - super low key but knew what they were doing. We saw plenty of whales and enjoyed the snacks and drinks. Really good value for money. Can highly recommend.
Same whales, half the price.
Sina_S, Jan 2024
One of the most incredible experiences ever! The staff was great! The catamaran was good. And they knew exactly how to find the whale pods. Highly recommend it!
Breaking whale watching protocol
Sebastian_R, Jan 2024
This is not a trip for conservation or any others we saw in lucas. 20 boats around one whale , harassed and exhausted. The boat does have a sail and was driven without someone for some of the journey. We found out that only 4 boats should be around one whale and a distance away.. The poor whales had to rise to breather amongst boats , some still running.
No Frills, Whale-Seeking Adventure
Amy_T, Jan 2024
If you're looking for a no-frills whale-seeking adventure, this is a great 2 hour excursion (9am-11am, daily). The catamaran had different areas for hanging out, whether you want to be up front or hanging back, the deck is shaded and the ride is smooth. Tasty burritos, coffee and pastries were available. We had many opportunities to see the humpback whales and were even treated to a tail splash by one of them.
A must see when in Cabo.

Got exactly the photo I wanted!
Nathan_M, Mar 2023
Meeting spot directions were clear. We left and arrived right on time. We had great weather. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and served free burritos and non-alcoholic drinks! The boat was a catamaran. A good size and smooth, and there were only about 15 people on it today, so I had tons of room to move around freely and get the best angles. I didn't really get wet, just a couple light splashes up to my ankles. Saw a couple sea lions as we took off, plus lots of pelicans and some other birds. We stopped near the arches to take some beautiful photos... then continued and saw plenty of whales! Most just surface slightly to blow, but one juvenile whale was especially active, doing several jumps and breaches! I got incredible photos and videos of it going fully airborne! I met another Canadian family on board and had some great conversations too.
Great whale watching tour
Jayashree_S, Feb 2023
Tour started on time and instructions were clear. The folks running the tour were helpful and attentive. We had a relaxed time and there was plenty of space to sit or walk around (no crowding). We spotted some humpback whales pretty close and got nice pictures at the arch. There were some snacks and drinks onboard.

Great simple tour
Aileen_T, Feb 2023
I was a bit apprehensive due to the inconsistent reviews however, my family had a great time. It was a very basic tour. Some information about the whales would have been nice however you get what you pay for. The boat was not crowded, it was clean and the staff were very nice.
