Description

Be part of a whale-seeking mission

Your excursion will depart from Cabo San Lucas’ marina or San Jose del Cabo’s hotel zone. Boarding a small, inflatable speed boat with life jackets on, you will be guided by knowledgeable captains who know the waters and where the mammals can be found. Although no guarantee can be made that whales will be spotted, the high concentration of breeding whales in the winter months makes it very possible you will snag the perfect photo.


Photograph whales and more ocean wildlife

With a whale watching photo safari, you become your own National Geographic photographer and join a cruise through the coastal waters in search of breaching whales. With camera at the ready, you may find yourself snapping shots of finned tails slapping the water, whales bursting from the depths, and even a playful dolphin who decided he wanted a taste of fame, as well.
