Whale Watching


IN CABO SAN LUCAS

The official season runs from the middle of December to April. During these months, Cabo becomes a vital stage for humpback whales to breed and socialize. On our tours, we focus on this specific period to ensure you have a front-row seat to this incredible natural spectacle.

Our trips last three hours, which allows us enough time to navigate away from the most crowded areas and reach quieter zones. We prioritize a personal encounter, letting the animals' natural pace set the rhythm. It is fundamental to us that the whales never feel surrounded, chased, or harassed, ensuring their welfare and a much more authentic experience for you.

Our trips are guided by a model of passive and responsible observation. This means we never force an encounter; we strictly comply with the Mexican Official Standard NOM-131-SEMARNAT-2010, respecting minimum approach distances, reduced speeds, and time limits to avoid causing any stress to the animals. Our priority is to be silent observers, ensuring that our presence does not alter their natural behavior or well-being.

We carry a hydrophone on board that allows us to listen to the ocean's depths. If there are whales singing nearby during our encounter, we will deploy it so you can experience that unique acoustic dimension. Please note that since this is a natural environment, hearing their songs depends entirely on the whales' activity at that moment.

We rely on expert observation and nature’s signs. Our crew is trained to spot blows on the horizon and seabird activity to locate the pods. This allows us to approach respectfully and cautiously, making sure every trip is a non-intrusive and safe experience for the wildlife.

Whales are active throughout the day, and sightings can be spectacular at any time. Our three-hour tours give us the flexibility to navigate toward areas with less boat traffic, providing a more peaceful and intimate atmosphere for the encounter, regardless of the departure time you choose.

Yes, that is our specialty. We steer away from mass tourism and large, crowded boats. Our goal is to offer a close and respectful encounter where you can enjoy the silence of the ocean and, if nature allows, the beauty of underwater sounds through our hydrophone.

While the humpback whales are our main protagonists, the Sea of Cortez is incredibly biodiverse. Depending on the day and luck, it is also possible to encounter gray whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and sea lions. Every trip is a unique surprise and an opportunity to connect with wildlife in total freedom.
