While we can't provide an absolute guarantee, our experienced guides will lead you to the best spots during the peak season, making your journey filled with thrilling possibilities. In January and February, the chances of spotting whales are exceptionally high.
Humpback whales are the most commonly sighted species in the Sea of Cortez and are truly spectacular to watch, especially when they breach and perform tail slaps. During the winter months, you may also come across orcas and gray whales. While less commonly spotted, Bryde's whales and minke whales can also make rare appearances.
