While there are a huge variety of things to experience during any Cabo San Lucas vacation, whale watching is among the most incredible. This activity is unique to coastal regions and is made even more special when combined with the stunning landscape that makes-up the Los Cabos area. The Cabo San Lucas Marina offers whale watching tours from December until mid-March every year; in the early spring, the whales begin their journey back to the frigid Arctic.

The marina is located within walking or easy driving distance of many popular Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo villas. If you have questions about the proximity of your vacation rental to the marina, contact your leasing agent. Some agents can even help you make reservations for activities like whale watching; this takes some of the stress out of planning your Los Cabos dream trip.

If you opt to take part in this Cabo activity, you can expect to see adult gray whales with their calves. The aquatic creatures frolic and play throughout Los Cabos’s temperate winter months. Many people wonder why the whales travel to the warm southern Pacific region; the main reason is for them to breed, but they also like to escape the icy Arctic circle, which gets particularly cold once December rolls around each year.

Experts in the whale watching industry attest that the early morning is the best time to see pods of gray whales if you are on a Cabo San Lucas vacation. Typically, the Los Cabos marina begins leading tours at 8:30 AM; this affords tourists the very best opportunity to see whales splashing and swimming in the sparkling Pacific Ocean. When you arrive for your excursion, you will be provided with a complimentary breakfast. Then, during your tour, you will have access to an open bar, complete with mimosas, while an entertaining emcee regales your group and leads games.
