When is the best time for whale watching?
Morning excursions typically feature the calmest seas and best light for photography, which is ideal for guests sensitive to motion. However, many avid watchers find that windier afternoons can sometimes correlate with more active and dramatic whale surface behaviors, such as breaching. We offer flexible departures to suit your preference—inquire about our availability now!
PREPARING FOR YOUR DAY ON THE WATER
To ensure maximum comfort on your Whale Watching Tours in Cabo, we recommend bringing sunglasses, a hat, and plenty of reef-safe sunscreen. The mornings can be cool, so a light jacket or sweater is advised, even on a sunny day. Remember your camera for capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments, and let the crew handle the rest.
