Live an unforgettable experience on our whale-watching tours in Cabo San Lucas
Whale watching is an extremely popular activity to do in Cabo San Lucas during the first months of the year, if you’re surfing the net looking for “whale watch cabo” then look no further, here’s all you need to know.
Booking a private whale watching tour is a great idea to avoid the complications and stress of a regular tour and LIT is here to help.
The best time for whale watching in Cabo San Lucas may vary a little, but generally, whale activity goes from late December to mid-April. If you’re visiting Los Cabos around late January and March will be a great opportunity because by this time, mother whales have already calved, so baby whales can be spotted. This is one of the most interesting Cabo adventures available so it is recommended to schedule your tour in advance.

Scheduling a whale watching tour has never been easier, here are our boats that can take you on a wonderful Whale Watching tour in Cabo
If you visit Cabo San Lucas during whale-watching season, don’t miss the opportunity to see these magnificent creatures.
Whales live in very cold waters, but during the winter months (primarily humpback and gray whales), they travel to warm waters that offer good conditions to start their breeding season, still we recommend you to pack layers to stay warm on the water and consider motion sickness medication for the boat ride.
Our Crew Will Take You To The Best Locations So You Can Watch As Many Whale Species As Possible
In the La Isla Tour, we want you to have the best possible experience near the whales in your Cabo vacation while we are respectful of their natural environment: Licensed operators follow regulations to minimize disturbance to whales.
That is why we offer you a completely customizable tour in which our responsible whale-watching operators will take you to visit all the stunning spots of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean while looking for whales.
During the whale watching tour, there will be a marine biology expert aboard explaining everything you need to know about the whales, the reason they migrate, and information about all other sea creatures you see. If you wish, we can also schedule our professional photographer partner and his team at your request to take amazing, professional photos of your friends and family with these gentle giants in the background.
If you are interested in traveling to Los Cabos for a whale-watching cruise and want to be sure that there will be whales around, the Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources for Mexico publishes the exact dates of the whale-watching season each year.
It’s possible to encounter up to 7 different whale species during your whale-watching tour. Los Cabos is a main tourist focal point for whale watching, especially during the winter. While there’s a major chance to spot a humpback whale, it is also possible to see gray whales, blue whales, fin whales, minke whales, sperm whales, and even orcas migrate to Los Cabos through the Pacific Ocean..
The Sea of Cortez is also the natural habitat of a very rich marine life, so during your trip with us, you will spot sea lions, sea turtles, many different and colorful tropical fish, stingrays, and even dolphins.
Bear in mind, if you’re mostly interested in watching whale sharks, they are scarce or simply don’t show up at all in Los Cabos.
If you visit Los Cabos after the whale’s season for breeding season, there’s still a possibility to spot some whales. Ask our staff if whale-watching tours are available by the time of your vacation.

When booking your whale-watching tour, you can decide the schedule of your tour; all our boats are available to depart in the early morning, at midday, or in the afternoon.
The time of the day may slightly change a little your experience on the tour. Usually, morning sailing is smoother, and it is great to look for baby whales and their mothers, but in the afternoon, while the water gets rough, the whales are more active, so it will be possible to spot more than one.
To ensure the safety of all our passengers, it is not allowed to swim near whales during the whale watching tour, but on some lucky occasions, a whale decides to get close enough to the boat so it is possible to touch it with your hand.
