Often imitated, never duplicated. We offer 2.5 hour zodiac whale watching and marine wildlife tours and focus on small groups (max 10 guests), educational and non-invasive tours. On our way out of the bay you will pass Pelican Rock, Lovers Beach and the famous Arch. After that your guide and captain will search for the whales. The most common species we see on our tours are Humpback Whales, Common Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins, Olive Ridley Sea Turtles and Mobula Rays. At times we also might see other species of wildlife such as Gray Whales, Sperm Whales, Blue Whales and Killer Whales. When conditions permit your guide will use a hydrophone to hear the humpback whales sing. From December 15th until April, if you don't see any whales you get to come out again for free (space permitting). ## Before you book - Meeting point: We are located in Plaza Bonita in the… - Max 10 people: small group - Starts 08:00, 11:00, 14:30: 3 departures a day - Age rule: Minimum age is 8 years old **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €99 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.93/5 from 395 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Whale Watch Cabo - Group: Shared, up to 10 travellers - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 08:00, 11:00, 14:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-08 ## Reviews 4.93 from 395 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 388 of 395. - 5 stars: 381 (96%) - 4 stars: 7 (2%) - 3 stars: 4 (1%) - 2 stars: 1 (0%) - 1 star: 2 (1%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | 2:30pm Zodiac Whale Watch Tour | €99 / person | English, Spanish | - Marine Biologist Guided Tour | | 8am Zodiac Whale Watch Tour | €99 / person | English, Spanish | Marine Biologist Guided Tour | | 11am Zodiac Whale Watch Tour | €99 / person | English, Spanish | Marine Biologist Guided Tour. | ## What's included - Your guide will take photos during the tour which we offer to you for FREE :) ## Not included - Private transportation - Restroom on board - WiFi on board - We try to be as sustainable as possible and therefore no longer provide single use plastic bottles on board. ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 08:00, 11:00, 14:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-08 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point We are located in Plaza Bonita in the Cabo San Lucas Marina.
