During your private tour, you’ll not only witness humpback whales but may also encounter other species such as gray whales, blue whales, and playful dolphins. Every trip is unique, offering an up-close and personal experience that creates memories to last a lifetime.


Your private whale watching experience also includes views of Cabo San Lucas’s most famous landmarks.

The true stars of any whale watching adventure in Cabo San Lucas are undoubtedly the magnificent humpback whales. These gentle giants captivate with their immense size, reaching lengths of over 50 feet and weighing up to an incredible 80,000 pounds. Their sheer presence is awe-inspiring, but what truly sets them apart is their extraordinary behavior and intelligence.

A humpback whale breaching—leaping out of the water and crashing back with a resounding splash—is one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles. This acrobatic display is not only visually stunning but also believed to serve a variety of purposes, from communication to removing parasites. Beneath the surface, their enchanting songs echo through the ocean, showcasing their unique form of communication and social bonds. These melodic patterns are thought to help humpbacks navigate, attract mates, and interact with one another.

On our private whale watching tour, you’ll have the rare chance to observe humpback whales in their natural habitat, guided by our expert Marine Mammal Specialists. They’ll provide fascinating insights into the whales’ lives, from their migratory journeys spanning thousands of miles to the rich marine ecosystem that sustains them. You’ll also learn about their feeding habits, which primarily involve filter-feeding on krill and small fish, and their essential role in maintaining the ocean’s health.

But humpbacks are just one of the incredible species you might encounter. During whale season in Cabo, the Sea of Cortez becomes a haven for a diverse array of marine life. Keep an eye out for blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, as well as gray whales, orcas, and minke whales. Each sighting is a unique opportunity to connect with the wonders of the underwater world.

Make sure your cameras are ready as you get closer than ever to these majestic creatures. Whether it’s the sight of a tail fluke disappearing into the deep or the sound of a haunting whale song carried by the current, every moment of this adventure promises to be unforgettable.
