Personal, beautiful, lots of whales!!!! - What an amazing, personal trip! We had an awesome captain and whale expert on the trip. Donny I believe her name was! Beautiful ride out to the whales, followed a humpback mom, baby and escort for a LONG TIME. Heard them sing with the hydrophone. Saw a grey whale tail as well! Those seem to be harder to see. Baby was practicing her jumps and breaching. A beautiful ride with an amazing sunset. Bring something warm to wear on the sunset boat! We will be back!

Amazing whale watching experience! - This was such a great experience! The company for check in was easy to find. Friendly staff. We had so many whale encounters and our guide Kevin was great! Our boat captain (sorry I forgot his name) was also friendly and did a great job brining us around and back safe!! Would highly recommend!

Best sunset cruise - This was a great treat. You get the best of both worlds - real whale watching and a fabulous sunset. Not a booze cruise but a nice whale watch with a bonus sunset! Loved it.

Magnificent sunset tour with whales and all - The views were amazing. We saw many whales and enjoyed the most magnificent sunset. Captain Coco and his assistant were amazing. At the end of the trip, they made sure we were in the correct place to get an Uber to go to dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. They explained very interesting details about the whales. We brought a bottle of wine, and they served on board for us. It was heaven. Soooo relaxing.

Humpback whales so close you can smell them! - This was the highlight of our Cabo trip. We highly recommend the sunset cruise with Andrea. Seeing, hearing, and even smelling whales up close was amazing!

Whale Watching Sunset Cruise - My family and I loved the 5:00 pm Sunset Cruise with CaboTrek! This excursion was simple to book and the people were very helpful and friendly. The boat driver did a great job locating / pointing out whales while the biologist informed us about the landforms / marine-life with amazing facts and was able to answer all of our questions during the experience. This will be an excursion to remember forever for my family and I! We are incredibly thankful to have done this activity and seen plenty of whales, drink wine / eat snacks at sunset and appreciate the marine life and natura around us in Cabo!

Enjoyable tour. Wish I had pics. - Very nice trip. Crew was professional as was the van service to and from.
Unfortunately, I paid $50 cash for pics which were uploaded via an email link (he did not want to load to my phone due to time constraints). I was NOT warned ahead and did not try to look at the photos until I got home 5 days later. By that time the link had expired. SO, don't let them say they will send you link. Stand there and wait for the files to load to your phone AND/or use a Credit Card so you can reverse charges if the pics don't come thru.

DO NOT do the Sunset Whale-Watching Cruise with Cabo Trek!! - The Cruise was a whale-watching cruise, and it left at 5:00pm. The sun was already almost set. As we set out, I noticed that most other boats on the water were returning to shore, and within 30 minutes, there was only one other boat besides ours. We watched the sun set first and then set out to look for whales - after the sun was gone. Needless to say, it was very difficult to spot any whales and for the rest of the cruise, we fleetingly saw 2 pairs of whales, but they seemed to already be settling in (under water) for the night. Even when they put a microphone in the water to listen for them, there was no activity where we were. Did they not know how to find their location, even under water? As compensation, they offered to play a recording from last season, which really disappointed us - we didn't need to come on cruise to hear a previous recording!
I don't hold Cabo Trek responsible for the lack of whale appearances at that time - I know that animal activity in nature cannot be controlled by humans, but I would suggest that the sunset cruise begin an hour earlier for whale watching and then end with the sunset. There was so much whale activity in Cabo during the weeks that I was there - I saw so many whales from our resort, but at that time, so close to dark, it dies down dramatically.
The thing that disappointed me the most was that our guide had promised that we would be switching off with other passengers for sitting in the front of the boat, where it was open, and the view was the best. The back of the boat was covered and had several vertical support bars, which did block our view. There was one other family with us, and she let them go first. They had the benefit of most of the daylight. But my family and I still waited patiently for our turn to come. About 30 minutes later, the driver asked the guide in Spanish about letting us have a turn at the front, and she said no. So, we didn't get to sit at the front at all. The other family enjoyed the sunset, the rest of the daylight, and beverages and snacks at the front of the boat, while we were stuck at the back for the entire trip.
All in all, the cruise was not well planned for whale-watching, it was badly executed, and the guide exclusively favored the experience of the other family, and was did not seem concerned about my family's experience.
We chose Cabo Trek because most of the reviews were excellent, which goes to show that even then, with the wrong program design and with a guide who is not committed to her customer experience, it can still turn out to be a terrible disappointment.
