A seasonal highlight of Baja

Whale watching is offered seasonally, for the 2026-2027 season, from December 15, 2026 to April 30, 2027, as whale activity varies throughout the season. Humpback whales are an iconic sight in these waters. Any sightings depend on weather, marine conditions and the animals themselves.

Private and unhurried

This three-hour private boat experience gives your group space to take in the coastline, ask questions and enjoy encounters at a respectful distance. All ages are welcome, subject to appropriate safety arrangements.

Respect comes first

Our approach is guided by animal behavior, safety and applicable wildlife-watching rules. We never promise a particular sighting or a close interaction; the whales set the pace.

What is included

Your private boat and captain, an experienced guide, snacks and refreshments, safety equipment and GoPro photos or clips. We can adjust the trip where practical to suit your group and the day’s conditions.

Where we depart

Our main departure point is Marina Puerto Los Cabos in San José del Cabo. Departure from Cabo San Lucas may be possible on request for selected trips, subject to the planned experience and availability. We confirm the departure port and exact meeting point before booking.
