Whale Watching Best in Cabo or PV in Feb?

[cottonchopper]

We are cruising to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta in mid-February and considering whale watching tours. Which port offers the best opportunities to see whales then? Any suggestions about good tour operators?

 

I have read that one operator has a spotter plane, which could, perhaps, increase the chance of seeing whales. Has anyone been on this tour?

 

Thanks! :)

I would go with Cabo. I've seen whales in Cabo as the ship was leaving port.

You won't need a spotter plane, they are easy to spot their spouts. The whales came early to Cabo, there have been several sightings already.

I prefer Cabo for Whale watching. I'm not saying you can't see them in PV, I have. I just find the experience so much easier in Cabo. Whale watch in Cabo and do something else in PV.:):):)

We were in Cabo Jan. 31 of this year and took a morning whale watch. We probably saw more whales on that trip than all previous trips elsewhere combined. Double breaches, back flips, you name it. Bouncy ride that day but worth every bump. The grounds were not far from the harbor, too, and the boat delays slightly so you can see the spots for which the cruise ship wants too much to show you on an excursion.

Thanks to all of you for the good advice on where to whale watch.

We will do it in Cabo.

 

Any suggestions about tour operators?:)

We've used Pez Gato a few years ago, and they were awesome!
