Overview
Join us on a thrilling, intimate adventure aboard our Zodiac boat for the ultimate whale-watching experience. Guided by an expert captain, we’ll take you to Cabo’s prime spots for unforgettable whale sightings—be sure to bring your camera! With a small group, you’ll enjoy a personalized day of excitement. Our fast, stable Zodiac boats, favored by Jacques Cousteau, let us get closer to the action than larger vessels. When we spot a spout, splash, or fluke, we’ll zoom right over. Get up close to majestic whales while respecting their space and conservation laws. Humpback whales steal the show, but you might see gray whales or even the mighty blue whale. With 32 whale and dolphin species in the area, prepare to witness awe-inspiring behaviors like breaching, tail lobbing, and spy-hopping.

Arch of Cabo San Lucas
10 min
A captivating granite formation and one of the most recognizable symbols of Los Cabos, the Arch towers three stories above the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes. Known locally as "El Arco" or "Land's End," this natural wonder is a testament to the forces of tidal and wind erosion shaping the Baja Peninsula over millennia. We stop by boat to take pictures of the famous Arch of Cabo.

Sea of Cortez
Pass by
Board your boat and head out on your educational Cabo adventure. Your captain will show you why Cabo is the place for humpback whale watching as you travel on a small and speedy boat carrying a maximum of 15 people. On your way out to the Sea of Cortez or Pacific side of Cabo, stop at the famous Land's End or Cabo Arch. A marine biologist will be on board to tell you about the area, the Baja geography, the Sea of Cortez sea life, and answer any questions you might have. The Sea of Cortez hosts numerous whale species each season, from gray whales and sperm whales to the elusive blue whales, dolphins, and even orcas. Be sure to bring your camera as there will be plenty of photo opportunities. After a few hours out on the water, you will be dropped off back at your hotel. Upgrade your experience for a private tour with just you and the members of your group.
