Humpback, blue, and gray whales migrate through Los Cabos waters from December through April — one of the best and most accessible whale watching opportunities in the world.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The waters off Los Cabos are one of the best whale watching destinations on Earth from December through April. Humpback whales breach in the Sea of Cortez, gray whales migrate along the Pacific coast (heading to their breeding lagoons in Magdalena Bay), and blue whales are occasionally spotted. The proximity of deep water to the Cabo Marina means you can be in prime whale-watching water within 15 minutes of departure. Sunset whale watching tours combine two Los Cabos highlights.
What Stands Out
- Humpbacks, gray whales, and occasional blue whales — December to April
- Deep water close to marina — whales within 15 min of departure
- Sunset whale watching tours — two Cabo highlights in one
- one of the most accessible whale watching experiences in the world
- Gray whale migration visible from shore in some locations
