# Whale Watching in Cabo San Lucas: Sightseeing Cruise and Shopping

**Guidekin's take:** Look for whales aboard a glass-bottom boat, then return ashore for tequila tasting and shopping time. A local guide and hotel transfers by air-conditioned minivan are included; the port access fee is extra. 4.78 from 208 reviews at €104 per person for 4h.

In our comparison: #24 of 31 in Whale Watching Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Witness the majesty of these ocean giants from a unique perspective—far from the crowds of catamarans. Experience the magic of whale watching like never before: in an intimate and personalized setting aboard our Glass Bottom Boat. Your connection with nature will be an unforgettable experience!
Upon the return to shore, continue the adventure and taste our internationally awarded drink; tequila!
