Day 01

Your adventure begins with a comfortable hotel pickup. After a short ride, you'll step aboard our catamaran and set sail into the Pacific Ocean to witness the breathtaking annual migration of Baja's whales. Get up close to gray, humpback, and possibly blue whales as they journey through the waters surrounding Los Cabos, where they give birth to their young.

Our expert crew will guide you in identifying different whale species and understanding their behavior as you marvel at mothers and their calves in their natural habitat.

You’ll also enjoy a stunning sunset, as you sail past by iconic beaches and the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas. To complete your experience, we'll serve you delicious mini baguettes, fresh fruit salad, and a selection of drinks from our open bar.

After two hours on the Pacific, we'll return to the marina and provide transportation back to your hotel. If you prefer to meet us at the marina, we’ll gladly provide directions for check-in.
