    Loved whale watching and seeing a mama and baby!

    We had a great whale watching outing with our family with daughters 8 and 6. It was the tail end of whale watching season (mid April) so I was concerned we would not find any whales. However, we were able to find a mama and baby whale along the coast halfway between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo and we trailed them at a distance for about an hour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative about whales and their habits and migratory patterns etc. The boat is also pretty small so it felt like a more intimate experience and up and close with the whales. I think because it was the tail end of the season we lucked out to basically have a private tour for our family, which was great. That said, the boat ride was maybe a little bumpy at points when it was at high speed, but we all took Dramamine beforehand so we were good. The guide took a bunch of photos during the tour and promptly emailed them, which was great because they were so much better than what I caught with my iPhone since his camera had a huge telescopic lens.

    Can't say enough good! A+++++++++++++++

    Went on the whale watch this morning at 9:00am. Great to get out there before it gets too hot. Our guides did a fantastic job. I'm sorry that I don't remember the names but we have a photo. The tour was beautiful, exciting, educational and fun.... all rolled into one. We saw whales, dolphins and sea lions. I would highly recommend this group if you are going to whale watch.

    This was such a great day! We saw several whales and learned so much about whales and marine life in the area and the zodiac was fun!

    Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.

    How much does Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Cabos is not rushed.

    Is Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 147 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included?

    +

    Around 51 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Cabos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Cabos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Los Cabos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos, Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets, Cabo San Lucas Sunset Cruise with Open Bar and Snacks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Los Cabos?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Los Cabos?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Whale Watching by Zodiac in Cabo San Lucas with Photos Included?

    +

    Included: Juice Boxes; Drinkable Water in Reusable Cups; Snacks; and All Photos and Videos. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
