Best whale watching

From December to April, humpback and gray whales return to the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez after their migration from the north. Join us for a memorable two-hour whale watching experience from Marina San José del Cabo, where you may see whales breaching, tail slapping, spy-hopping and traveling with their calves. Dolphins, rays and seabirds may also appear along the way.

A marine biologist accompanies the tour, sharing fascinating insights about the whales and their migration, while an on-board hydrophone allows you to listen to the haunting songs of humpback whales beneath the surface. The tour is easy, family-friendly and suitable for all ages, with a shaded boat, restroom, life jackets, water, drinks and light snacks provided.

Sunrise

Start your day on the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez with the first light of morning. The early departure offers beautiful golden light and often calmer sea conditions, creating excellent opportunities for whale watching and photography.

Daytime

Enjoy whale watching in the bright daylight, when the warm Baja sun illuminates the whales and surrounding coastline. Keep your eyes open for breaches, tail slaps, spy-hops, mother-and-calf pairs and other marine life as you explore the waters around San José del Cabo.

Sunset

Combine an unforgettable whale watching experience with the spectacular colors of a Los Cabos sunset. As the light turns golden, watch for whales and dolphins against the dramatic Baja coastline before returning to the marina with an experience to remember.
