BEST TOUR EVER! - If you’re looking for an amazing whale watching experience, this is it! Elizabeth, Mario and Luen are the best! Their knowledge and passion about Cabo and its wildlife is unmatched and their excitement about seeing the whales was contagious! We saw humpback whales, grey whales, and even got the rare sighting of a fin whale! The day was perfect and far exceeded our expectations! If you get the chance to go to Cabo, this is a MUST DO adventure! We highly recommend this tour and will definitely go again!

Experience of a lifetime! - Visited Cabo 2/10/25 and took a trip with Baja Vikings Evoventures. What an amazing trip! We floated right in the middle of a pod of 6 Grey Whales as curious about us as we were them as they got close to shore to clean themselves on the more shallow sea floor. Also up close to mama humpbacks and their calves. And just for icing on the cake saw turtles, flying mackerel and a flying ray! Such an intimate experience...nearly spiritual! Mario was so helpful and giving us information and pointing out sightings. An absolute adventure of a lifetime!

Great experience and Wonderful Memories - The whale watching was the most amazing experience of our life time. Our Captain was knowledgeable and was educational about all the habits of the whales. He was respectful of their habitat as well as trying to give us an incredible experience. We saw numerous whales with their babies and saw whales jumping. I would recommend it highly.

Fun day of whale watching - We went on a whale watching tour with Baja Viking Tours and had an amazing time. Capt Mario was very knowledgeable and was in total control of the zodiac boat at all times. He made us feel safe and secure in the boat. Sailor Luwin took several photos. He was not in a hurry and made sure to take photos of everyone on board near the Cabo arch. He was also very friendly and helpful with the tour. They made sure we saw several different whales, dolphins, sea lions and even a sea turtle. They respected the ocean creatures and made sure to give them soace. I would highly recommend this company and crew.

Great tour! Highly recommend! - What an incredible experience! From start to finish, this whale-watching excursion exceeded our expectations. Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun, making the trip both educational and exciting. We started with a scenic tour around the arch, where our guide provided a great explanation of the sights. From there, we headed into the ocean and immediately spotted whales. At first, we were among other tour groups, which made the area feel a bit busy. However, a few minutes later, we ventured further out, away from the crowds—and that’s when the real magic happened. It felt like we had the ocean to ourselves as we watched countless gray and humpback whales. We even saw some breaching in the distance, so we made our way toward them and were rewarded with even more breathtaking sightings. We lingered for quite a while, simply enjoying the incredible display of marine life. The cherry on top? The tour actually ran longer than advertised, giving us even more time to soak in the experience. The only small challenge was finding the meeting location. The directions were clear, but without a sign, we had to wait for the guide to arrive to confirm we were in the right place. Overall, this was an unforgettable adventure, and we will absolutely do it again!

We saw so many whales!!! - Our guides Liz and Mario were amazing in guiding us to seeing so many whales. They knew how to watch for them and find them for us to see. The photos were an absolute bonus afterwards allowing us to watch first hand without worrying about taking our own photos. Thank you!!

No photos - The trip was very exciting and the guides were great. We saw many whales and were so happy. We were able to be in the moment knowing that there was a professional taking the photos. The poor rating is because we never received any photos. I tried to reach out to the local business but got no response. Sadly, we have no photos of our adventure.
