1.ZODIAC Whale Watch Tour | Cabo San Lucas | Biologist | FREE Pics

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 365 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $109 a head Our pick

Ride a fast, small Zodiac from Cabo Marina with a marine biologist guide and captain. Look for humpback whales, dolphins, turtles, rays, sea lions, and pelicans, hear whale calls with a hydrophone when conditions allow, and receive free tour photos. The group is limited to 10 people, and a free second tour is offered for missed sightings from December 15 to April 15.

“Our trip was amazing in every way. Giselle our marine biologist was wonderful in explaining everything that was going on for the entire trip. The zodiac was comfortable and fast. We left the other boats behind so when we saw the whales there were no other boats. We saw so many grey whales; humpback whales; and even a mama and baby on our way back that was breaching so we stayed there for awhile even though we were heading back! Most amazing time!!”

2.Small-Group Whale Watching Zodiac Boat Cruise in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 143 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $85 a head Best value

Join Cabo Expeditions for a fast Zodiac ride past El Arco and into the Pacific or Sea of Cortez.

Expect an intimate but bumpy outing with up to 15 guests.

“We had a wonderful time. The whales were so close to us we could almost touch them. Our captains Jose and Ramona knew exactly where to go and when to stop the boat and let the whales come to us. The whale would swim under our boat and then raise up and look at us. This lasted almost 30 minutes. This was a trip of a life time!!”

“Fun boat ride and very friendly guides. The water was very rough as it was the day after a storm but the guys got us to the snorkel spot and we were able to see lots of cool fish and a ray and a shark. The ride back my daughter got sick and they were very kind about it. The pictures and videos the guide took were really neat to have as a keepsake”
