Whale watching in Cabo San Lucas – humpback migration and breaching whales

Whale Watching in Cabo San Lucas

Humpback & Gray Whale Tours

Experience Whale Watching Season in Cabo

The majestic humpback whales amaze visitors every year in the waters of Baja California Sur, offering a unique opportunity to see them breach, play, and socialize. Out of respect for the animals and to make your experience more intimate, we avoid crowds and never force interactions. With our marine hydrophone, you can also hear their hypnotic songs live, creating a truly unforgettable experience.

The humpback whale migration in Baja can be enjoyed mainly from December to April. These mammals travel from the cold Arctic seas to the warm Mexican Pacific to reproduce and give birth, allowing you to witness playful whale calves alongside adult specimens that will leave you speechless.

While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, the Cabo San Lucas area is recognized as one of the best destinations for humpback whale encounters due to the high probability of sightings. Join us for an unforgettable whale watching experience in Los Cabos!

It's important to remember that at Breathe Out Baja we practice whale watching in La Paz and Cabo San Lucas in a respectful and conscious way, always prioritizing the well-being of marine wildlife. For this reason, we strictly comply with the Mexican Official Standard NOM-131-SEMARNAT-2010, which regulates whale watching in Mexico to guarantee safe, sustainable and unforgettable encounters with humpback and gray whales in the Sea of Cortez.
