Whale watching in Cabo question.

[Mist_ynight]

I'm looking at the whale watching excursion in Cabo and I notice that I'm above the weight limit stated. Do you think they will ask me what my weight is? I would really like to do this but I don't want to book it and then get turned down when I get there. Has anyone done this who is over the weight limit? I'm pretty surprised at the limit, I'm a large woman but I'm not that big. I don't see how it's a safety issue as I've ridden in my step grandfathers small zodiac and on my first cruise I did an excursion where were were in the same type of boat.

We did a whale watching tour in Cabo Jan. 2010. We used caboecotours. We were on a really nice large catamaran. I don't think you would have any problems with weight issues on that type of a boat. AND we did get to see some whales! It was a fantastic excursion!!

thanks, I'll check them out. I don't understand why weight is even an issue, those zodiak boats are awesome boats. My gf would probably prefer a catamaran anyway.

We've used Pez Gato for whale watching in Cabo. They have a large catamaran as well, and there was no mention of any weight limit. I am large, and my sister is even larger....but there were no problems. We saw several whales and had a great time!

I actually saw a zodiac boat out there at the same time, and the people looked so uncomfortable...like they were sandwiched in and couldn't move, whereas we had plenty of room to stretch out.

Also used Pez Gato for whale watching in Cabo.....no mention of weight with several Plus Sizes aboard! :)

I think Oceanriders is the one that has a weight restriction-their boats only hold 15 people plus crew and are small and seats are very close together. I believe, you get in and stay seated the entire time, whereas a catamaran might give you the ability to move around. Have fun!!

thanks for the info. I really like the look of the catamaran from cabo eco tours. I'm a little concerned with timing since the excursion is 9:30 and we don't dock until 8. They want us there at 8:45. Since we have to get a tender I don't know if we'll make it in time. It's only $21 person or $27 a person with breakfast and alcohol (Not that I want the alcohol but breakfast might be nice.)

I booked the VIP whale watching tour with Cabo Eco Tours. It was only $27.93 and that includes breakfast and alcohol. It's a two hour tour so it should be lots of fun. Thanks for the input everyone!
