Cabo Whale Watching Season 2020
When is the best time to go whale watching in Cabo San Lucas?
When choosing the right time to participate in whale watching doesn’t only rely on the month you go, but also the time of day you do it! As they make their way down the Pacific coast from the Bering sea in Alaska during the summers, they arrive and stick around in Baja California Sur and the Baja Peninsula from December to April.
When choosing a time of day to go out and see the whales, it all depends on the type of whale watching adventure you want to experience, and here is the complete guide:
- Early morning tours: The best time for those who want a smoother ride. During the morning, the sea of Cortez has lower winds, making the waves smaller and the visibility for seeing the whales enhanced!
- Mid-day tours: With more boats out and about, tours during the mid-day allow for finding whales easier. The right whale guide will be able to put you in the perfect location to witness them!
- Afternoon tours: Craving an experience like no other? Then the afternoon is the best time to go. With high tides, winds, and whale activity, this time is the best for whale watching enthusiasts.
- Sunset tour: Sunset cruises are not only breathtaking, but also romantic should you choose to spend this tour with your loved one. Gaze upon the beautiful whales while also indulging in a sunset like no other in the world.
Do You Need To Go on a Boat for Whale Watching in Los Cabos?
Whale watching Cabo is a one-of-a-kind opportunity, but not everyone wants to go on a boat to experience it. Whether it be sea-sickness or any other reason keeping you from it, don’t worry, you still will be able to witness it.
You can definitely see the whales from the shore, the experience may not be as exciting, but it is still astonishing. We recommend packing some binoculars and ask the experts at Sandos Finisterra for the best spots to see them!
What Kind of Whales Will You See?
There are two types of whales that migrate, gray whales and (the most prominent) humpback whales. A fun fact about humpback whales is that they make quite a splash as they grow up to 60 feet and weigh up to 40 tons!
These two whales are giant, and they like to show off, similar to other whales such as blue whales. Whale watching Cabo is so extravagant because of the way they jump out of the water, seemingly greeting the spectators; just make sure to bring a raincoat.
Zodiac Whale Watching Cabo San Lucas
Whale tours in Los Cabos are marvelous, but smaller Cabo expeditions make it much more interactive. Zodiacs are a small boat that can fit up to 15 people and are the ideal option for seeing as many whales as you can handle. Why choose a Zodiac whale watching tour?
