Overview

  • Experience one of Los Cabos’ most incredible seasonal events as humpback and grey whales migrate through the waters of Baja California. Keep your eyes on the horizon for mothers travelling with their calves, powerful breaches and the unforgettable moment a whale suddenly appears from the Pacific.

    Our expert crew helps you spot these magnificent animals and shares fascinating insights into their behaviour and migration, making every sighting even more memorable.

    Between sightings, relax with an open bar, food and spectacular views of the Los Cabos coastline and the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas.
