## Overview

Cabo is known for having one of the most picturesque sunrises on earth. Picture this: cruising out to sea early in the morning, a coffee in your hand, calm music drifting over the water, and witnessing one of the most beautiful natural displays in the world – and back on land before 09:00, with the whole day yet ahead of you!

What’s an early morning worth, against seeing a humpback whale breach mere meters from your boat? Heading away towards sites that no one knows but us, we will provide you with the best sunrise whale watching San Jose del Cabo has to offer.

**Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point
