There are many nautical activities to be enjoyed in Los Cabos, but some, like whale watching, are better during certain times of the year. The season in Los Cabos runs from about December 15th through the end of April. For those visiting Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo during this time that want to go whale watching, a whale-watching guide can help in making the most of the experience.
Whales migrate from places with colder weather to areas with warmer climates. The whales start their journey from places like Washington and Alaska in the United States, and British Columbia in Canada, around mid-fall. This typically puts the whales starting to arrive in the Los Cabos area by the beginning of December.
There are three different species that travel to the Cabo San Lucas area. Humpback whales typically arrive first, followed by gray whales, and blue whales arrive throughout the season as well but are rarely seen because they barely ever rise above the surface of the water.
Seeing them make this annual migration is mesmerizing and seeing these enormous creatures up close is even more amazing. For those visiting Cabo during whale watching season, there is the opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
