Cabo San Lucas is a very special and unique place to encounter whales. It sits at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meets. These two bodies of water creates an ocean highway junction, making it ideal for whale migration.
Whales migrate from their feeding grounds in Alaska to the warm waters of Mexico to calve and nurse their off spring. Although some whales start arriving into the Sea of Cortez as early as November, December is the official date for whale watching season in Los Cabos.
The Grey and Humpbacks are the most common whales seen in the Sea of Cortez. There has also been sightings of Orcas, Bride, Blue and Minky whales. The whales can often be spotted from the beaches, but if you want to get a closer look, you should consider a whale watching tour. The whales commonly will approach the boats for you to get up close to these magnificent creatures. Cabo’s whale watching season officially closes on March.
