1.Luxury Catamaran Whale Watching Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,107 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $129Our pick

Review of Cabo’s luxury catamaran whale watch, with whale calls, Arch views, drinks, snacks, pickup details, costs, and practical tips.

“The employees are amazing and we saw multiple whales just as promised. The boat is beautiful. But it is very challenging to walk on the boat and the rail on the luxury boat low. Older adults or anyone with disabilities should be careful. I am recovering from cancer and I almost fell over board. It’s very easy when the rail goes to your knee or lower. Be careful. Hotel said it dangerous. But we loved it!! Perfect for young adults. I’d never take kids on this one. Ever.”

Trip was well organized and the stop at the organic farm/shop was a really nice bonus. Would definitely do this again. Just be prepared for a long day but it’s worth it!”
