CruiserBruce Posted August 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Cabo. You will see lots of whales as you sail in, and there will likely be whales visible all around the ship at anchor. Edited August 21, 2014 by CruiserBruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted August 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I have seen them in both Cabo and Puerto Vallarta. However, the layout of Cabo's harbor and the types of excursions seem, to me, lend to a better whale watching experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand and Seas Posted October 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 23, 2015 We will be on the Jewel week of December 6th. Is this too early for whale watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky1987 Posted November 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 8, 2015 We will be on the Jewel week of December 6th. Is this too early for whale watching? We'll be on the same cruise and wondering as well. From what I've been reading there should be whales around at that time but it's early enough in the "season" that whale sightings aren't guaranteed on the tours.

Friends that live in Cabo tell me they are already spotting whales, so you should be able to see some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted November 10, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Has anyone done this recently? The website has a very old copyright date and I don't see specifics on the tour listed. I did it in August. They are docked at the end of the boat launch ramp near Puerto Parasio mall. It's a family owned operation, their web site is definitely not fancy, but they have been in business for many years. This is also the tour frequented by local gringos. If you have specific questions, I can help, or you can email them at rissacat@prodigy.net.mx. Laura makes the reservations and she speaks perfect English because she grew up in the states.

I'll try that email. Not sure if it is the same on their "contact us" on the website. I emailed a few days ago and have not (yet) gotten a response. We're in cabo on Veendam December 15. I wanted to see what they have available. It's a short call and I want to do something longer than 2 hours ( which is what the ship offers.) Is the boat ramp near / in sight of the tender dock? I'm not really familiar with cabo. Have only cruised there once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maui07 Posted November 11, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I am also trying to book with them and can't get a response. Could you please tell me what time the tour goes out, length, if there is a meal/drinks provided and price? Our ship leaves at 2pm so Im hoping they have an easier in the day option. Thank you.

The day tour leaves at 10 am and returns at 1 pm. There is a full lunch served of chicken, salad, a casserole, chips and guac along with an open bar. The boat launch ramp is near Puerto Paraiso Mall which is pretty much directly across the marina from the tender pier. It would be about a 20-25 minute easy walk. There are bicycle taxis available which could get you there faster and would be cheaper than a land taxi. I'll contact Laura and see what's up.

maui07 Posted November 13, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thank you, I did get a response and they have a private charter that day. boo. Any other companies you would recommend for a whale watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted November 13, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks for posting the time. We get in at 11 and being a tender port I would not consider a shorex before noon. Did not get a response, but it's a moot point due to timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted November 13, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Pez Gato is very close to the tender pier and they also run the Tropicat. https://pezgato.com/ There is also Cabo Escape. These are bigger venues but Cabo Escape gets favorable reviews. http://caboescapetours.com/ Cabo Escape is at dock zero, near the pirate ship. If you were going to do it, I would plan on a 45 minute walk, or better to take a water or land taxi if pressed for time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
