If you’re a wildlife lover, whale watching in Cabo is the best thing you can do in San José del Cabo. Every winter, from December to March, whale watching in Baja kicks off as humpback whales make their way from the Arctic to warmer waters.

On a whale watching trip in San José del Cabo, you can get up close and have a front-row seat to a dazzling display of acrobatics, including breaching and surface slapping. You may even see a baby or other species of whales, including grey and blue whales, that also migrate to Cabo during this time.

Most tours go from Cabo San Lucas, but there are a few companies that leave from the marina in San José del Cabo, too. We’d recommend Salty Cabo Excursions, a responsible and licensed company.
