“My wife and I carefully searched for a whale watching guide for our cruise to Cabo. Let me say that there's a reason Cabo Nature has the most reviews. These ladies are amazing! Having the tour with experienced marine biologists added so much to the experience. Our guides were so knowledgeable and you could hear the genuine excitement in their voices when telling us about the whales. We took a quick ride to the Arch for photos (which by the way are included!) and went to several spots and saw multiple whales and even a calf. It really was an amazing experience that we'll never forget. Sure you could book…”

We listened to them sing with the hydrophone and learned about their anatomy, migration and communication patterns from our expert guide, Sofia. We were treated to mother and baby tandem breaching, fluking and lots of spouting. We even found a family of common dolphins in our way back to the marina. Seamless boarding and easy to find meet up location with bathrooms! The morning was a 10/10 experience for our parent/teens family group.”

Nick also provided much information about the marine life in the area. Great drone and underwater photography to remember it too! Highly recommend this excursion!
