Payo and Alonso provided an exceptional experience for us! We understood that we may not see much action from the whales but were very pleased to come across several different pods and got to witness behaviors like fin and tail slapping and some amazing breaches. We even saw a mother, her calf, and their male "escort". Payo gave us a great educational experience and took some great photos for us. We particularly loved the small group aspect, and the respect they had for the animals (not getting so close as to endanger or disturb them, but plenty close for us to see their behaviors, and even markings. Would 100% recommend them!

Great experience. Went with wife and all four kids (age 10, 7, 6, and 3). All did great, although one got a little sea sick. But view of the whales and tour guides were incredible.

Our main purpose of heading down to Cabo is to check out the whales (well, the food isn't bad either!). Have been going out with Whale Watch Cabo since 2014. We took 4 trips over the week, had different guides each time: Vittoria, Payo, Oscar, and Jo. Impressed with the international training and research they have done, they REALLY KNOW what they are talking about. The skippers get you located to get the best photos and sightings. Especially enjoy being out with El Viejo Perro. Got to briefly meet the woman that started and owns WWC. You can tell a lot about an employer and a company by how the employer and employees interact. She has hit the sweet spot.

Knowledgeable veterinarian guide, learned a lot. Saw maybe 10 pods and 50 surfacing events, rolling over, flippers, flukes. Even a juvenile wasting energy breaching over and over. And one baby. Mid Feb. 2026. Operator is Whale Watch Cabo.

This was an amazing trip! Victoria explained so much about the whales and what we were seeing. The company is very respectful of the wildlife which we appreciated.

Loved it. Our guide was so enthusiastic, knowledgable, and friendly. Our captain was also very helpful and had a good eye. We saw so many whales, and different whale activities. Evidently, we were very lucky to see so much on our trip. Can't wait to get the pics.

We had a great time seeing the whales and even some dolphins in early February, which is prime season. We got lucky and saw two whales breach, but it took some time on the water before seeing them. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the species in the water and you can tell this company has a true biology background. The only slight confusion was figuring out where to meet - the address on the invoice/email can provide various results between Apple Maps and Google Maps, but we ultimately met at the check-in office in the outdoor mall plaza, in front of the Starbucks. Would definitely recommend and do again!

An absolute spectacular experience. The guide was so knowledgeable and gave us lots of information. The captain of the boat knew exactly where to go and we saw amazing views of the whales.
