Amazing! - Really enjoyed the host and the pilot. They were perfect in terms of boat positioning without hassling the whales. Definitely are close enough. They emailed great pictures after so put away yur phone and enjoy it.

Genuine fascination - It was clear to me that Payo, our guide, was genuinely fascinated by whales, and filled our tour with lots of information about these creatures that only deepened the experience of actually seeing them! I also felt as if Alonso -- our captain, was working with Payo to pursue finding them, even when it meant leaving a crowd and following along. They also patiently waited for my family when we were a little late, which I also appreciated. Receiving photos at the end that Payo took was an added benefit -- they were great! Overall, an excellent tour!

Wonderful experience. - We saw more whale activity on this 2 hour excursion than all of our previous trips to other destinations, combined. Got lucky I guess with right time of the year - last week of March. Our guide Payo and Captain Alonso were wonderful and respectful of the whale's territory which other operators didn't. Great company.

Best whale watch ever! - Our trip was amazing! We saw so many whales breaching and had such a wonderful time! The kids loved it too! We had a family trip with 9 of us, littles included. My husband is disabled and they did everything to help him enjoy this trip. The captain was so fun, he got as excited as we did upon seeing the endless breaching of mother and baby whales. We had a private tour which was so worth it. Our guide Paol, was so knowlagable, and fun. I would reccomend them to anyone! Plus, I initially made the reservation for the wrong dates and they very graciously let it slide at no cost.

Whales, whales, whales... - Whales, whales, and more whales. We saw 12-15 pods of whales in 2 hours. Tails, heads, backs, pectoral fins, babies, adults, gray whales, humpback whales. Our guide, Poala, was amazing, she made the trip even better by explaining types of whales, when/where they breed, so informative. The best was when she started singing to them. I do think these magnificent mammals can feel the love, and stayed around us for longer. I had my teens, and a young adult, my 15 year old said, "This is probably #2-3 of the best things I've ever done?" Now that's a review you don't ever everyday, right!

Great morning watching the whales - The trip was very well run. The guide was a marine biologist and very informative. We saw around 20 whales. They had a quality camera and emailed us great pictures. If you are interested in whale watching, I cannot imagine not enjoying this trip.

A Must-Do in Cabo - When the tour said sightings were guaranteed we didn’t know to what extent that meant, but to say we were blown away by the experience would be an understatement. We opted for the 8:30AM tour and upon arrival at the office found the process to be extremely efficient. Our group of 6 was able to check-in prior and we departed promptly at scheduled tour time. It was a short walk to the marina where our boat, Mas Tequila awaited our arrival. The tour was lead by a marine biologist who provided thoughtful insight the entire tour and worked cohesively with our boat captain to ensure we were in prime position to catch the action. We saw seals, a variety of birds, and of course, WHALES! Some surprised us right up next to our boat, but most were seen from afar. Sightings are obviously completely random, but we were pleasantly surprised with how many we got to see, especially all of the babies! We even saw a breech and the free photo aspect is such an added value.

Best whale watching in Cabo! - Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. This tour group is head and shoulders above the rest. If you can afford to take the private tour, do so. You won’t regret it. Give yourself plenty of time to arrive early. – Cabo is very busy and there’s lots of traffic.

Best Whale Watching Tour - Best tour ever. Jo was a great tour guide. Having an expert marine biologist was amazing and she was so informative. Private charter was very nice. Best part was we could watch everything and not worry about photos. They took photos and we received a link to Dropbox a few days later. The photos were amazing and better than we could have done.
