Overview

What makes our Humpback Whale Tour truly special is the fully personalised experience from start to finish. We can customise food, snacks, and drinks to your dietary needs. You’ll travel comfortably from La Paz to Cabo San Lucas, where a semi-private boat (max 8 guests) awaits for a 3-hour whale watching adventure guided by marine biologists. You’ll witness humpbacks breaching and tail-slapping up close, and even listen to their songs through underwater hydrophones — a rare and moving experience. Our expert guides share eco-scientific insights throughout the journey, turning every moment into a chance to learn and connect with nature. At the end, you’ll receive professional GoPro photos and videos, along with a debriefing to reflect and share feedback. This is more than a tour — it’s an intimate, educational, and unforgettable encounter with Baja’s most iconic marine giants.

Why you'll love it

🔹 A conservation success

Commercial whaling in the 20th century killed around 2.9 million whales, with some populations, such as humpback whales, lost 90% of their global population. In 1986, commercial whaling was banned, and species were able to recover (although three countries continue to hunt whales - Japan, Norway and Iceland).

🔹 Support local communities

Whale watching is a major source of income for some communities, especially those around no-take Marine Protected Areas, where fishing and other commercial activities are banned. There are strict guidelines for responsible whale watching, which largely involve speed limits, never chasing the pod, never separating mother and calf, and not getting too close.

🔹 See them in their natural habitat

Seeing them in the vast ocean is an experience one’ll never forget. We believe responsible whale watching is a great way to educate the public about these majestic giants and to support their conservation.
