This is the whale watching group for you! - What a great experience. The tour guides were amazing and shared information about Cabo history as well as whale and marine behavior. This group is very conscious of whale safety and respectful to their environment and surroundings. We followed a trio of whales for many miles which was beautiful and tranquil. Would definitely do it again!

This was definitely an... - This was definitely an experience we won’t forget. We followed 2 whales, saw one breach. Another sprayed us then swam under our boat, and Raz was just as excited as the rest of us. Raz is a wonderful guide with a lot of passion for his work. Loved every minute.

WOW! - WOW! = INCREDIBLE!!! Zazz and his captain were amazing! Passionate people with excellent explanations and the chance to have seen dozens of whales as well as hundreds of dolphins!!!! Only downsides: Time flies too fast The office of Viking B-20 is empty and it is the people next door who told us to wait 10-15 minutes in front for the assembly point...it is very ordinary, we will say. Please be visible and clear!

Great whale sightings - Was a nice experience on the water with Baja Viking. They were attentive with good information. Length of the tour was good. We saw several whales, including some breaching. The company also seemed to be more responsible in the positioning of their boat than other tour companies as to not bother the whales. I would recommend better signage on the departure location. Everyone on our group tour made it, however we arrived at the location first and there was no information in regards to the tour until the guide showed up at the unmarked meeting place approximately 10 minutes before the tour.

We learned a lot about whales and their mating and birthing habits! - Fantastic day on the water! Though we were early in the season, our guide found many whales and managed to get quite close

Beyond 5 star experience!!! - My sister and I had the BEST time of this tour. Our tour guide Raz (think that is how it's spelled) was super knowledgeable about these beautiful creatures and the local area. They were very mindful not to chase or harass the whales like you see other charters do, they read the whale's activity and study their behavior to provide a truly once in a lifetime experience. Don't even look at booking with our companies, Baja Vikings is hands down the most professional company out there. Thank you to Elizabeth and her team for making a dream come true.

Incredible Whales & Many Laughs - Our whale watching trip on NYE was an incredible way to wrap up 2025! Pepe and Jose were incredible guides and captains who helped us see many whales while also being respectful of the animals. They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. We had so much fun that we might try to book another excursion before our trip is over! Definitely recommend joining these two for a couple hours!

Unforgettable - I highly recommend the whale watching tour with Baja Vikings Ecoventures. We had the experience of a lifetime and it was worth every penny. We were able to see many humpback whales within the 2.5 hour tour and we were very close to them, nearly at water level in the Zodiak boat. Romel was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable and passionate about the whales. Pedro was an awesome captain and brought us as close to the whales as possible without disturbing them. We cruised past the Arcos, saw sea lions and pelicans as well. Elizabeth, the owner, was responsive to emails. My family and I will never forget this experience!
