Highlights

There’s something special about seeing Cabo from the water, but whale season brings an entirely different experience. Head into the Pacific in search of humpback and gray whales as they migrate through the waters of Los Cabos, with the chance to see mothers swimming alongside their calves. Your crew will help you spot the whales and share interesting facts about their behavior and migration. This seasonal experience operates exclusively from December 15 through March 31, when these incredible animals visit the region during their annual migration. Between sightings, enjoy views of the Arch and Cabo’s Pacific coastline, along with an open bar and onboard food — egg burritos, fresh fruit and coffee on the 9:00 AM departure, or mini baguettes and fresh fruit on the 12:00 PM departure. Choose a morning or afternoon departure, add convenient hotel transportation if you prefer, and enjoy Cabo during one of the most exciting times of the year.

Itinerary

  1. Begin your day with convenient hotel pickup when you select the transportation option, available from Cabo San Lucas, the Tourist Corridor, and San José del Cabo. Pickup generally begins approximately 45 minutes before the tour, depending on your hotel location. If you selected the tour without transportation, make your own way to the check-in location at Gali Plaza and arrive at least 20 minutes before departure. This is a seasonal whale-watching experience, available from December 15 through March 31, during the annual whale migration through Los Cabos. Choose between a 9:00 AM or 12:00 PM departure, subject to availability, and get ready to head out into Cabo San Lucas Bay during one of the most exciting times of the year.

About Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas is the marina town at the very tip of Baja California, home to the famous rock arch where two seas meet.

The marina is the centre of town, lined with restaurants, bars and boats heading out for fishing, snorkelling and sunset cruises. From there, a short boat ride reaches Land's End and El Arco, the rock arch where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, along with Lover's Beach and a colony of sea lions on the rocks.
