Whale Watching Cabo Worth It

Whale Watching in Cabo runs $75-180 per person and the experience varies wildly depending on the operator. Here's what we actually recommend.

Gray whales are friendlier and sometimes approach boats. Humpbacks are more acrobatic with spectacular breaching. Both species are present during peak months.

Tour options range from large catamarans (cheaper, more stable, bar onboard) to small pangas (closer encounters, more intimate, can be bumpy).

Most tours last 2-3 hours and cost $60-150 per person. Higher-priced tours usually mean smaller groups and more knowledgeable naturalist guides.

Pro tip from locals: book direct with operators - saves 15-25 percent.
