# Los Cabos Fast Boat Whale Watching Tour to the Famous Arch

**Guidekin's take:** Look for humpback whales from a fast inflatable boat, with hydrophones to listen for their underwater calls. Guiding and a life jacket are included, but whale sightings are not guaranteed and moderate fitness is required. 4.88 from 745 reviews at €90 per person for 2h 15m.

In our comparison: #17 of 31 in Whale Watching Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

The Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortes proudly welcome humpback whales to their shores every winter.  Join an expert group of mammal experts and experience the opportunity to see the whales in their natural habitat.  Specially designed, fast zodiac boats take you to the heart of the action, witnessing these amazing jumps, splashes and graceful movements in the heart of the Pacific Ocean.
