Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas

Experience the awe-inspiring magic of whale watching in Cabo San Lucas, one of the world’s top destinations for observing majestic whales in their natural habitat. From December to April, humpback and gray whales migrate to the warm waters of Baja California, often breaching, tail-slapping, and playing just offshore. Join a guided tour with marine experts who share fascinating facts about these gentle giants while you enjoy panoramic views of the iconic Arch, Lover’s Beach, and the dramatic coastline. Keep your camera ready—you never know when a whale might make a splash!
