Itinerary
This whale watching experience is built around comfort, calm, and closeness to the whales. You depart from San Jose del Cabo aboard a new, stable, and comfortable boat designed to spend time on the water without feeling rushed or crowded. The ride is smooth, the layout is open, and you can move easily as whales surface around you. Along the East Cape, humpback whales appear naturally, breathing close by, lifting their tails, and sometimes breaching without warning. The guide follows their rhythm, slowing down and giving space so behavior unfolds on its own. You are not fixed to a seat or locked into a route. You stay present, comfortable, and focused on the moment, letting the encounter develop quietly and naturally.

Amazing experience. The boat is really nice and the crew is extremely professional. They knew everything about marine life in baja.
Amazing experience! Whale watching in San José del Cabo was absolutely unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, which made the whole tour even more special and exciting. We were able to see several whales up close, and throughout the entire experience we felt comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re visiting San José del Cabo — 100% worth it!
If you want guides who truly care about animals and the environment, this is the company to go with. I really enjoyed the experience because the guides are incredibly knowledgeable and their top priority is protecting the ocean and marine life. We were lucky enough to see many animals, always with respect and care for their well-being. They also have great equipment, and I had an amazing time. The staff is also super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!
From the original booking Eduardo kept in contact with us. Letting us know what to expect, gave us options to do if the whales left before we got there. They were very welcoming when we got to the boat. Very professional and friendly. Saw several whales. Experience of a lifetime. Then even guided us to the local shops after our outing. I can’t recommend them enough! When we go back we will use them again! 10 out of 5 stars!!
What a wonderful team and perfect experience! The whales were gorgeous, the snorkeling was fun, and our guides were amazing! Thank you for a truly great day!
I would rate this 5out of 5 Crew was great and succeeded in making it an amazing experience
This was amazing! The captain was experienced and the tour guide was so well educated! You can tell she adores whales. She was so passionate and excited to see each one. Beautiful experience
An incredible day! Our guide and driver were both so knowledgeable, friendly and respectful of the nebula rays and whales that we saw at close proximity. The boat was very comfortable, and just a super pleasant way to spend a couple hours in the afternoon. A highlight of our trip, recommend!
Our morning with Dip Expeditions was great. The boat was comfortable and very clean, the crew were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with this amazing experience. They even stretched the designated time to get closer to a group of whales at the end of the trip for us to get a better view of these amazing animals. Overall a great trip!
Absolutely fantastic experience. Small boat so intimate excursion. Paola was a wonderful guide. Her passion for whales and the ocean is so heartfelt. We also learned a lot. Beautiful couple of hours on the Sea of Cortez
We had a great trip with our guide and boat captain. Perfect weather and we saw a lot of whales surfacing and then a few dolphins swam along our boat. I also made a last minute request to change the day of our trip and they accommodated it with ease. Really enjoyed the experience.
We had a spectacular day with Captain Jose in our Guide Francesco! They were awesome. This was a highlight of our trip to Cabo.!! there’s not enough space to say all the good things about these two gentlemen. And we saw so many whales.!!! We highly recommend dip, expeditions, and Jose and Francesco!
Five Stars is not enough. We saw so many whales yesterday. Last year, we took a 45 min Uber ride to Cabo San Lucas for Whale Watching and had a great time. Including pics with the Arch as a backdrop. It was great. But have to say that an under 10 min ride from Secrets resort and just two of us on boat (instead of 22) was incredible! The Babies breached over and over. Incredible!!! We also got to see several squadrons of Rays and even sea lions around the marina. An incredible adventure which was made even better by the phenomenal captain and tour guide. Thank you!!! **This is the ONE you want if you’re staying near San Jose del Cabo.
Paola was super friendly and knowledgeable! capital José was amazing. Can’t say enough grewt things about our experience with Dip Expeditions 🙂
We had a wonderful time, thank he trip is very safe, with a very small group. For the first time, I’ve managed to see whales and we had tried 3 times previously in other locations. Highly recommend it!
Amazing experience. This is our second experience with the Dip and both times exceeded expectations. This time around we had so many whale sightings there were actually several breaching next to our boat. Later on we saw jumping devil rays which is a truly wild thing to observe. Truly spiritual experience with marine life. The pilot and guide know everything about marine biology and answered all our questions confidently. It was exhilarating and rewarding but a bumpy ride so take your seasickness meds. Wear a hat and sunscreen. Dont go elsewhere - the dip are straight shooters with fair pricing. They always spot something exciting! Thx Fran and Matt!
We were greeted by multiple curious whales within the first hour of our trip. The snorkeling was great, the boat ride was fun, and the crew was friendly, professional, and brought some tasty burritos.
We saw several humpback whales and a dolphin pod on our trip in late November! Such a great trip—definitely recommend!!
We’ve had an amazing time and got to see 3 whales close by. Beautiful small group trip along the coast. Very friendly guides that made us feel safe the whole time.
This has been the best trip of my life in terms of whale watching. We had three whales not more than 5 yards from us come up on the boat and make loud sounds and awe us all. Amazing. Once in a lifetime.
We had such a great time on our whale sighting adventure! There were whales surfacing, there were manta rays leaping out of the water, and the guide & driver were knowledgeable and friendly. This is the excursion you’re looking for.
I had an absolutely amazing tour with my two young daughters. We were lucky enough to see humpback whales, dolphins, and even sea lions. The crew was incredibly kind, and my girls were so happy that they said they want to come back again. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!
We enjoyed our time on the boat with our captain and guide, who knew where to find the whales. We also saw stingrays jumping out of the water everywhere. They warned us that we might not see any whales due to activity the day before, but they were able to find them. We can highly recommend this group. Awesome.
2 hours. Max 6 passengers makes for intimate setting for better closeup viewing and making new friends. Beautiful coastline and lots of whales in February. Captain and crewman are super friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t go wrong with this excursion.
DIP Expeditions was excellent! We saw so many whales! Eduardo, the owner/guide was friendly, excellent communicator and knowledgable about the whales. He even sent us pics later in the day of whales we saw. Our captain also did a great job navigating to and around the whales. The boat was clean and very nice making for an enjoyable outing. Highly recommend DIP Expeditions and can’t wait to go again! Kim Neurohr
Staff was amazing and knowledgeable! Very patient with all of our questions. Highly recommend, saw lots of beautiful whales and got great pictures! A most memorable experience!! Thank you!
This was a group of 6 out of 8. The two guides knew exactly what they were doing and were brilliant at giving us an amazing whale experience. Our guide, Fransisco, share both his excitement & knowledge. This was a small quaint experience. I highly recommend!
The booking was easy and the trip was great. Our skipper and guide were prompt and friendly, the boat newish and in good shape. We found lazy whales, a competition pod, and some full breaches. Greys and humpbacks, sea lions and dolphins. GO!
Went with this company because of its perfect reviews and they were all spot on. We did a two hour whale watching tour in the afternoon having never done one before. We know they cannot guarantee seeing or getting close to the whales so we went in knowing it could be a tad disappointing. The first hour was more on the quiet side and my husband and I smiled knowing this could happen.....and then we found a mother a calf and followed them for about 20 minutes or so. They both continuously breached and we were in awe the whole time. They are magnificent creatures and worth seeing if you've never done it before. I noticed and appreciated the distance the driver gave the whales as to not encroach too much on them or scare them away. Crew was knowledgeable and friendly. When we talked to locals in the area after they raved about the crew and DIP expeditions. Book now!
Captain and his marine biologist mate were spectacular guides. Just the right amount of time in the water, comfortable boat. For an hour we enjoyed the breaching and sharp turns and lifted tails of a pod. Surprise, mamma and her calf were at the party! Use this group, and bring your own snacks and drinks if desired n
Really great trip, lovely boat, calm waters and we were able to see whales alongside the boat, dolphins and a Mako shark.
A gorgeous day at sea with 2 marine enthusiasts Francisco + Roberto in a small, cleanly, newer boat. The guys knew their stuff and easily answered questions we had! I had the closest and most memorable experience ever with dolphins! The guys encouraged me to sit at the front and dangle my feet over the side to see the innumerable dolphins they found. They swam next to and under the boat for quite awhile, one almost touched my foot and I saw its blow hole squirt me from below! It was like the dolphins wanted to race the boat. There were several sea lions around the marina + sea, they were relaxed with humans. We saw a few hump back whales breaching nearby and caught some info about the migration of the whales. The boat only holds about 6 people, so it’s an up close + personal experience with wildlife. As expected its “chance” what wildlife you will see and for how long, but the guys communicate with base about sightings and chase down the possible spots and we had success. It wasn’t a party boat, it was relaxing, looking for marine life, getting close + learning. Would recommend “Dip excursions” to anyone! Thanks to Roberto + Francisco for a memorable, bilingual experience!
Great and friendly people! We were only two of us in the boat, so we enjoyed this almost a private tour! I highly recommend it to everyone! Loved watching the whales and sea lions!
Excellent trip. Guides were very knowledgeable in all marine life. The boat was perfect for whale watching with a small group. We saw devil rays, marlin, seals, dolphin, and 15+ Humpbacks. We were very lucky at the end of Nov. I would highly recommend.
We had a tremendous whale watch with Matt and Francisco. Boat was sparkling and well equipped. Matts English was perfect and his knowledge of whales really added to the experience. It didn’t hurt that we saw a bunch of humpbacks!
I've had the pleasure of going whale watching a few times in Cabo, but I have to say, Dip Expeditions truly exceeded my expectations. Matias, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, and his passion for marine life made the experience even more memorable. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, adding to our enjoyment. What really impressed me was the attention to sustainability. Matias and the crew were conscious of our environmental impact, offering refreshments that were eco-friendly. It's clear that they care about preserving the marine ecosystem. I highly recommend Dip Expeditions if you're looking for a whale watching tour that's not only exciting but also environmentally responsible. It's a fantastic way to experience the beauty of Cabo's marine life while supporting conservation efforts.
Paul and I had a wonderful trip. We felt like we chartered our own private boat with Matias as our captain. We were lucky to see humpback whales jumping, a mother with her calf, and a pod all in the same 2 hour trip. We were offered waters and snacks as well. Definitely recommend this tour over anything you will get in Cabo San Lucas with the busy crowds.
I went whale watching with Dip Expeditions with my family and it was spectacular. The truth is that the experience exceeded our expectations, the boat was super comfortable, they gave us thermos with water so as not to use disposables, the guide Matías was extremely attentive and informative. And well, finally we saw a spectacle of whales jumping and flapping. we were very lucky. Will come back 100%. Thanks!!! 💙💙
It was a very pleasant experience, the staff are very well trained and are very friendly. We left on time and everything was very good, we were very lucky and we had to see many whales. It was an amazing experience, thank you DIP!
The service of Matías and the captain, excellent. The NEW AND VERY COMFORTABLE boat. They know the best places to see wildlife in San José del Cabo. We were able to see whales, dolphins, marlins and turtles. Without a doubt a must-see if you are in Los Cabos.
I went with my girlfriend to snorkel on the Palmilla coast and we had an incredible time. The guide was very attentive and gave us a very detailed explanation about the safety measures and the species we could find. The reef was beautiful and we were able to see a small whitetip shark and a turtle! The boat is very spacious, comfortable and even has a bathroom. We will definitely return. Thank you for the excellent attention Matías!
