What To Expect
This Ocean Safari is built for travelers who want real exploration without giving up comfort. You depart from San Jose del Cabo aboard a stable and comfortable boat designed for long hours on the water. The ride stays smooth, there is shade and space to move, and the layout makes it easy to relax while scanning the horizon. The route is never fixed. Your guide reads the water, birds, and surface activity, following signs of life as they appear. Dolphins often arrive at the bow. Mobula rays may leap in groups. Whales, turtles, and pelagic fish move through these waters depending on the day. When conditions allow, you enter the water under close guidance to experience the ocean from within. This experience costs a bit more because it delivers more. More time searching, more comfort during long stretches at sea, fewer people, and decisions driven by conditions, not a schedule. It feels unhurried, intentional, and deeply rewarding. • What you may encounter Dolphins, mobula rays, whales, turtles, pelagic fish, whales, orcas • Experience style Exploratory, immersive, and led by ocean conditions Ask yourself this. Do you want to observe the ocean, or explore it as it unfolds.

5.00Our Ocean Safari with Cabo Seafaris was just great. Jorge and Captain José accompanied the trip perfectly – professional, friendly and with a lot of experience. We saw humpback whales and dolphins, went snorkeling and could swim with rays. The absolute highlight, however, was a gray whale that swam past us at close range and even interacted with the dolphins – unbelievable and simply incredible. The next time we visit Baja we definitely book with you again. Thank you for this great adventure!
Great family excursion!

5.00Great experience. The boat is very nice and clean. There are two crew. My guess is they max they will take is 8 guests. Did not ask. We had 5 guests on the boat. Not a lot of shade so plan accordingly- hats, towels, coverups. They had water but I would bring your own just in case. Food was great. Saw wales, dolphins, turtles, lots of fish snorkeling and some massive yachts. Seas were super calm for us. Would definitely recommend.
Insider tip with fun factor

5.00Little known insider tip in Europe pleasant atmospheres, super friendly people and plenty to experience. Whether sand buggying or motocross terrain, horseback riding on the wide sandy beaches, just sunbathing, or exciting adventures on or in the sea, there is something for everyone. If you want to go inland you need a four-wheel drive. Only the main roads and towns are tarred. Great real Mexican and international food. And of course original tequila. What used to be a dangerous place, the government is quite well under control. There is a lot being built, unfortunately also megahotels and much too big concrete blocks right on the sea.
Wow

5.00To be out on the Sea of Cortez and see the sea life all around us was incredible. Our driver and guide with dip expeditions were knowledgeable, responsible and entertaining- as were our fellow travelers. Thank you for showing us this treasure.
Excellent Cabo Marine Adventure

5.00We had an excellent day with Francisco! We spent the first half of our time whale watching. We saw them throughout the voyage. The highlight was when he took us to a spot where a group of four humpback whales encircled us and put on a spectacular show in very close proximity. In the latter half of the day, we snorkeled at a reef with a great variety of fish. The wetsuits that were provided made it quite comfortable in the cold water. The tacos were tasty. It was a perfect way to experience Cabo!
We had a terrific time whale watching, seeing sea lions and the arch. We also went zip lining which was great fun.

5.00Cabo is a warm and friendly town filled with reasonably priced hotels, restaurants and activities. We stayed at a beautiful hotel, casa Bella, within walking distance of the marina in Cabo San Lucas.
