Excellent experience with the family! - Our guide Mario assured us we would see whales even though the season was coming to an end. Happy to confirm he was right and we saw our first whale within 10 minutes. We also got to see a mother and baby which was cool. Kids had a blast and overall an excellent experience.

Best Whale Watching Trip We've Been On! - This was, by far, one of the best whale watching trips we've been on! When it took us over an hour to get off our cruise ship and tender to the dock, I called and they were more than willing to work with us to arrange a meeting spot close to the dock so we could all make it on time. The zodiac fit our whole family of seven plus another party and it was the perfect size to be close to the water, a little thrilling, and easily maneuverable to get to the whales. The captain stayed in close contact with other ships to get us to the best spots. The guide was very informative about the local wildlife. The pictures provided were lovely. It helps that the whales - a momma and her baby - cooperated. 😁

Amazing Whale Watching w/ Photos Included - What an amazing tour! Mario the owner and guide was a wealth of knowledge, and was so friendly and helpful throughout the tour! He was excited to share all of his knowledge about Los Cabos and the various whales, and got us up close to both humpbacks and gray whales! He was very flexible and willing to stay close to a larger group of boats because there was a baby humpback frolicking for minutes on end! And he takes incredible photos of both the wildlife and your tour group, capturing great images of the whole experience for you, so you can stay more focused on the actual wildlife! I would 100% recommend doing this tour! It’s worth your time AND money!

BEST Whale-Watching Experience EVER!!! - I cannot say enough about this tour!!! Finding the meeting spot was easy, and the tour itself was sooo informative! Starting with the the arch, Lover's Beach, taking photos for us all. And then we zipped out to where the whales hang out... the guides' expertise enabled us to see more whales -- including a mother, baby, and the accompanying nurse. Elizabeth taught us all so much about their migration patterns, their way of life. It was obvious that her passion for these incredible beings was why she does what she does. We were able to hear them "sing" with an underwater microphone. We were looking for more whale activity, and subsequently the tour was a bit longer than promised; she was more concerned with our experience than looking at the clock. They were also very aware of maintaining distance, and staying a slow speed so as not to alarm the whales, and give them a chance to get comfortable with us being there to observe. I have always found the ocean and its inhabitants fascinating, and I find any sighting magical. I wanted to bring that experience to my children, and it was, to say the least, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!

Highly Recommend!!! - This was absolutely worth it! Going to several different locations, being able to be quiet so that we didn't scare away any whales, small group, excellent guide in Ramual, and great driving the zodiak by Pedro- incredible experience!! Also saw dolphins, a sea turtle, several sea lions and seals. highly recommend!

Highlight of our Cabo trip! Liz and her team are the best of the best!!! Worth every penny! - Liz was the best tour guide! My Mum (70) and I had such a great time on our tour! The boat ride was smooth and we felt safe while having fun riding the waves! So many Mom and baby humpbacks! We absolutely loved our experience! Icing on the cake was getting to listen to the whales via the hydrophone! We feel so lucky to have had this experience! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a whale tour that respects and loves the wildlife/environment. We cannot wait to go back next year! Thank you for memories ❤️

Another great Whale Watching trip - By far the best whale watching we have done in Cabo! We have done this about 5 times with Baja Vikings. ALWAYS a great time and this year no different. They are diligent in looking for whales. They move to where they see Whales or where they are most likely to be. The guides know their stuff. Good at explaining behavior and love these magnificent creatures. This year it was just my wife and I on the boat, and the owner was our guide. They even took time to drop in a device to listen to the whales. They are a small family run outfit with one boat I believe. Great people, please use them, especially if you want to see whales!

Excellent whale watching tour. - Excellent, excellent, excellent. Great tour and great guide. Mario is an extremely experienced and knowlegable guide that really enjoys his job and is full of great information. The hydrophone and drone was a really fantastic addition. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we immediately booked the next day. You will be on a Zodiac with a max of ten people, although we only had 4 on our trip. We followed a mother, baby, and nurse,watching them breach and play right by the boat. Can't do much better than this.
