Whales Incabo

While land-based fun in Los Cabos is a huge draw for travelers, what exists below the surrounding waves promises to be equally intriguing! The Whales InCabo private tour is a chance for marine life enthusiasts to get a close look at some truly stunning sights. As whales migrate through the waters around Los Cabos throughout the year, they offer up a unique chance for whale watching that’s serene and inspiring alike. Humpback whales and gray whales alike can be spotted in the waters around Los Cabos. The humpback migration typically begins around November with the peak numbers arriving in mid-December. While this time of year is ideal for sightings, making the most of whale-focused scenery in the water is entirely possible through the beginning of the year too. In fact, it may be even more meaningful this time of year because January and February mark the arrival of a brand-new batch of baby humpback whales known as calves! Through March and April, adults and their young will swim the waters around Los Cabos before heading out toward early May.

Whale watching Cabo tour participants looking forward to spotting gray whales in the water will find that this species typically begins showing up in January in small groups. These clusters of gray whales generally linger in the area through March. Unlike their humpback counterparts, gray whales have their babies further north, but provide ample spotting opportunities around Los Cabos because they tend to be observed closer to shore than humpbacks.

While whale watchers might assume that the calm waters of the early morning hours would provide prime viewing opportunities, it tends to be afternoon and late afternoon excursions that provide the most dramatic scenes! This is often due to tides, winds, and whale feeding patterns throughout the day. By later in the day, earlier morning outings have also revealed where the whales tend to be spending time, making it easier to maximize chances of getting a glimpse!
