Bluefish Tours: Whale Watching — Hear the Whales!
About This Tour
Experience world-class whale watching in Cabo San Lucas with a twist you won't find anywhere else — professional-grade hydrophones that let you actually hear the whales singing in real time. If whales are communicating beneath the surface, you may be lucky enough to catch their songs live. It's an unforgettable, goosebump-inducing moment that sets this tour apart from every other whale watch in Baja. Bluefish Tours' RABEN-certified captains (Mexico's official whale rescue network) are experts at anticipating the next best whale watching spot while always maintaining a safe, responsible distance. All guides are marine biologists or naturalists who share fascinating insights into whale behavior, Los Cabos wildlife, and the conservation programs Bluefish actively participates in. Your 2.5-hour adventure departs from the Cabo San Lucas Cruise Port and passes through Cabo's iconic highlights — the Sea Lion Colony, Pelican Rock, Lover's Beach, and the famous Land's End Arch — before heading into the Pacific Ocean or Sea of Cortez depending on conditions. A professional photographer on board captures all the action; photos and souvenirs are available for purchase after the tour. Maximum 12 travelers keeps the experience intimate and personal.
