★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 178 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $215

Cabo San Lucas whale watching by small boat, with rays, dolphins, sea lions, snorkeling, photos, and a strong focus on marine welfare.

“The open ocean safari could not have been more spectacular! Nick & Rafa are an awesome team and ensured we had time in the water to snorkel with beautiful fish and see so many humpback whales, dolphins & sea lions! Nick also provided much information about the marine life in the area. Great drone and underwater photography to remember it too! Highly recommend this excursion! One note: I would advise packing your patience and leaving some flexibility in your schedule. Based on our experiences with a couple excursions in Cabo, they don’t always happen as “confirmed” and there may not be much notice if any at all. Do your own…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 79 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $203

Review of Cabo’s shark safari and snorkel tour, with makos, blue sharks, whales, safety tips, pricing, sea conditions, and booking advice.

“Swimming and seeing the Mobula rays was an amazing experience! Felipe spotted them and we got right in the water. The only 2 negatives were 1, we didn’t see sharks. 2, we were very sea sick. But we can’t always control the ocean and Felipe tried SO hard to get us to see sharks. The water was very rough that day and even with meds, I was still sick. I always push through for the experience though. We went back and snorkeled at pelican rock. So many beautiful fish! Even sick, we still had a great time! Very knowledgeable guide and we would book again.”
