Experience whale watching on the Sea of Cortez with the entire boat reserved exclusively for your family or group. Our Private Whale Watching Tour in San José del Cabo combines everything we offer on our small-group tours with an even more personal and flexible experience. Salty Cabo Excursions is an authorized whale watching company permitted by the Mexican government, and your private tour is led by a professional captain and experienced marine naturalist guide. Our focus is on responsible whale watching, personalized service, and giving you the time and space to truly enjoy these magnificent animals away from the busy crowds of Cabo San Lucas. There is no fixed route—we go where the whales take us. Your captain and guide will search the waters off San José del Cabo for humpback whales while sharing their knowledge about whale behavior and migration. Depending entirely on nature, you may witness breaches, tail displays, mothers with calves, competitive groups, and other incredible behaviors. Dolphins, Mobula rays, sea turtles, and other marine life may also be encountered. When conditions allow, we’ll lower our hydrophone into the water so you can listen for humpback whale songs beneath the surface. Your guide will also take complimentary Canon tour photos, allowing you to put your camera down and enjoy the experience with your family and friends. Our comfortable boat provides full shade, cushions, blankets, making the experience enjoyable for guests of all ages.

Roland is a terrific guide, relaxed boat vibe. We must’ve seen 12 or more whales, including a baby. He went out of his way to create a comfortable, informative experience. Thanks for the memories- we will be back!

I am excited to be a part of the GetMyBoat movement in making boats more accessible and affordable to others. I hope to get out on the water more and help boating grow!
