Our sunrise whale watching is a relaxing and peaceful experience. At this time, the bay is calm and usually there are not many boats around, the animals are also in a different mood and the views and colors you can see in the sky are breathtaking.
When whale watching, we are normally the only boat doing the activity which makes it a very private and intimate experience.
It is our most popular and our favorite time to do whale watching because it is beautiful waking up to witness so much beauty

Really the best, impeccable service, true enthusiasts, naturists and the captain are very animal friendly. They will make you live the most beautiful adventure with the giants of the ocean but also with the other beauties of the sea.

I had several amazing trips with this company. They sail respectfully in the whale area. Few guests on the boat. Great sights. Thank you!

We had the most incredible time on our sunrise whale watching tour! The whales were so active, jumping and breaching right in front of us. Seeing a mother whale with her baby was a memory we’ll never forget. A huge shoutout to Ceci, our guide, who made the whole experience even better with her knowledge and energy. If you’re in Cabo, this is a must-do! - Alessandra y familia

We did the sunrise whale watching cruise and it was amazing. Sunrise was beautiful and also less boats on the water. We saw whales, dolphins and sea lions. Tata was our captain and Cecelia was our guide. She is very informative about all of the wildlife. We also got professional photos from her from our day. We loved the smaller boat with the small group. We would do this tour again!

If you are on the fence about which whale watching company to book with in Cabo, stop reading and book with Proyecto Cetáceo right now. My wife and I just returned from their Educational Sunrise Whale Watching with Photos Included tour, and I cannot say enough incredible things about this experience. Hands down, it was the single best moment of our entire trip to Cabo and that is saying a lot. From the moment we stepped on board, it was clear this was not your average tourist whale watching excursion. This is a company that genuinely, deeply cares about the animals they share the ocean with, and that philosophy changes everything about the experience. Our guide, Cecilia, was absolutely phenomenal. Her knowledge of whale behavior, biology, and conservation is extraordinary, but what truly sets her apart is her passion. You can feel it in every word she speaks. She wasn't just reciting facts — she was sharing something she loves with her whole heart, and it made the entire experience so much richer and more meaningful. We left feeling not just amazed, but genuinely educated and inspired. And then there is Captain Tata a true professional and, more importantly, a true conservationist. The way he approaches the whales is unlike anything I have witnessed. He is incredibly respectful and deliberate, always positioning the boat on the side of the whales in a way that makes them feel safe and comfortable rather than crowded or threatened. Here is the thing most people don't realize: when you respect the whales and give them space the right way, they actually come closer to you because they feel safe. Because they trust what's around them. We experienced this firsthand, and the photos we captured as a result were absolutely jaw-dropping closer, more natural, and more breathtaking than anything I ever expected. The hydrophone was a beautiful touch that I didn't anticipate loving as much as I did. Hearing the whales beneath the surface their actual sounds and communications added a layer of connection to these magnificent creatures that brought a few happy tears to our eyes. It's one thing to see a whale; it's another to hear one. To anyone choosing between companies: go with the one that respects the whales. Not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it will reward you with a richer, more intimate, more magical experience than you ever imagined. Proyecto Cetáceo is that company. Cecilia, Captain Tata, and the entire team are exceptional, and my wife and I will be talking about this morning for the rest of our lives. Book them. You will not regret it for a single second.

Cecilia was so great as a guide. We learned a ton about the wildlife and geography of the area. We saw sea lions, a shark, and then more whales than we could possibly count! They just kept swimming by in all directions. It was by far the highlight of our trip to Cabo, and we shared with many others back at our resort about this great company. We will be back!

Such a great experience with Louisa and Tara on the whale watching ride. Louisa has a wealth of knowledge about wildlife and these species. We saw many whales and a few sea lions. It was relaxing and beautiful to see the sunrise on the boat.

What a way to start my 60th birthday off! We had seen whales all week and last summer in Alaska. So my intent was to finally actually hear them. When we started our adventure Martin our guide advised me not to get my hopes up, Yesterday morning they heard nothing. our first stop he drops the microphone in the water and nothing. We had such great luck seeing whales everywhere. One area it was like lover lane for whales. They seem to be swimming two by two. This boat was small which made it feel very intimate with the whales we encountered. We saw some even breaching off in distance. One time we even watched them swim deep under us! What an exciting time. Martin taught us things about the whales I had never heard before. He dropped the mic again and again nothing happened. My heart had given up on God allowing me to hear their beautiful songs. I was very thankful for the adventure. but... We went further out and again Martin dropped it into the water. I was expecting nothing. Then faintly off in distance a low voice, almost eerie like. It was followed up by another and another and even some high pitched songs! The song moved me to joyful tears. Praising God and the team that made this happen, I am so thankful for this day and the Majestic Whale Songs for my birthday. Thank You Martin, Carol Magelssen I recommend this!

We had a great experience this January as in February 2023, so the decision to return with Lula to live this tremendous experience. They are a fantastic team, they share very important information about marine fauna.
