- melissagR6110GE0 contributionsAurora & Belem are the BEST!We saw SO many whales and listened to their songs! The guide was so knowledgeable about the whales and the captain knew just where to go. I highly recommend!!! Aurora and Belem were the absolute BEST!!!Written January 19, 2025
- d00zt1n0 contributionsIncredible Whale Watching Experience with Cabo Nature!Our whale-watching tour with Cabo Nature was absolutely unforgettable! We were lucky to witness five whales up close, including a playful baby whale breaching and jumping out of the water—a breathtaking and magical moment we’ll never forget. What set this tour apart was the underwater microphone Maria used, allowing us to hear the whales communicating beneath the waves. Listening to their haunting, melodic sounds was an awe-inspiring experience that created a deeper connection to these magnificent creatures. It truly made the tour feel unique and extraordinary. Maria and the captain were exceptional. Their professionalism and care for the whales were evident in every aspect of the tour. They ensured we didn’t disturb the whales’ natural behavior while still bringing us close enough to witness these majestic animals in their full glory. Their passion and knowledge made the experience both educational and emotionally moving. We were also thrilled to learn that Cabo Nature is a woman-run company, adding another layer of meaning to an already incredible experience. If you’re looking for a respectful, ethical, and unforgettable whale-watching adventure, Cabo Nature is the perfect choice. This tour was hands-down the highlight of our trip, and I cannot recommend them enough!Written January 18, 2025
- 702baileem0 contributionsINCREDIBLE & RESPECTFULMaria and Belem! Absolutely wonderful guides!!! They both were so kind, personable and knowledgeable about the whales. We saw so many whales all throughout the tour, including mama and babies! And most importantly, Maria and Belem took care to make sure that we were respectful of the animals and the environment. From start to finish this was an amazing experience. Easy to communicate with them prior to the tour and easily accessible as well. Beautiful scenery, and absolutely incredible animals and people! :)Written January 18, 2025
- Curious073089336710 contributionsWorthy life experienceThis is the first time for me to see whales. I fly from San Diego to this place just to see these lovely whales since January is their mating month. The guide and the captain are really nice! The price is on the average for whales watching. All in all, come and see these lovely whale babies!!!Written January 18, 2025
- J8114FHsamj0 contributionsHighly RecommendAmazing tour with great guides! They took us to great locations to see and hear whales and sea lions. Also provided lots of information!Written January 18, 2025
- DebbieT9870 contributionsWhales Galore!IT was awesome - we saw A TON of whales and particularly liked having a marine biologist as our tour guide, as well as a female captain of our boat. Both were very knowledgeable. We even got to hear the whales singing, so added bonus that you don't get in those bigger boats.Written January 17, 2025
- terrip4090 contributionsAmazing!Aurora and Oscar were absolutely amazing! We took a lots of photos, and saw some amazing whales! We also learned a lot of fun facts about humpbacks and other whale species!Written January 17, 2025
- 413chandrab0 contributionsBest Tour!The best whale watching tour that I’ve been on! We had such a great time, Aurora and Oscar were the best hosts and took us past the Arch and out to the pacific where we were able to have the most incredible experience with two humpback whales being curious and showing off. They took pictures of everyone and got the best action shots of the whales so you didn’t have to take any if you didn’t want to. They put you close enough to experience but maintain a healthy distance as to not cause the whales any stress, you can truly tell they care about them a lot and have fun doing so. They are very knowledgeable about the whales and environment, I would highly recommend them and go again!Written January 16, 2025
- bdmarie0 contributionsA must do during winter seasonSigned up for this tour while visiting Cabo San Lucas. It definitely exceeded expectations! We saw many whales (10+…too many count) and had great visibility, though this may vary based on day and weather. (We were very fortunate!) It was a small group on a boat that allowed us to get very close to the action. Also learned much about the behavioral patterns of the whales during our tour. Highly recommend for anyone visiting this area during winter months. Many thanks to our guide Maria and caption Mariela!Written January 15, 2025
- lindajayned20170 contributionsProfessional, safe and fun; with a lot of whale education skin go the waySafe, fun and educational. Great all round Maria was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide and taught us a lot about whale behaviours. Oscar an excellent and safe driver. I really appreciated the respect you showed to these wonderful whales and your efforts to not stress themWritten January 15, 2025
- lorenh7480 contributionsThought we were part of a National Geographic documentaryWe have sailed on several whale watching adventures along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Mexico. None of them compared with the time we spent with the staff of Cabo Nature. We crossed paths with over a dozen whales. We saw so many whale breaches, tail slaps and flipper displays we seemed to be in the middle of making a nature film. Maria and Oscar were so passionate about the whales Making sure we were in the right spot to see it all and maintain a respectful distance from the whales. Oscar did an exceptional job positioning our boat to encourage others from crowding the whales. Marias knowledge and ability to take amazing photos made this an experience for a lifetime. She went above and beyond to make sure we received the photos when we returned home. Hats off to Cabo Nature.Written January 14, 2025

- smeza2230 contributionsBest Whale Watching in CaboMaria and Mireya were so passionate about the whales and full of information. From the beginning, they were full of energy and interactive making it such a special experience. They genuinely cared about the wellbeing of the whales making it an extremely eco friendly tour. We saw so many whales, just to ourselves with no other boats, and were super close due to the size of our boat, we wouldn’t have had that with anyone else. The pictures we got sent afterwards were amazing and free of charge. 100/10Written January 14, 2025
- shawnW6730 contributionsGreat small boat whale watchingExcellent sighting and guides on this small boat. I’ve done whale watching in the past, but never saw them up close. We saw several groups of whales and we were highly satisfied with everything.Written January 14, 2025

One of the highlights of our Cabo trip! The snorkeling is lovely and the gear provided by Cabo Nature was new/nice (in comparison to other snorkel trips I've experienced in the past). Arturo was a great guide - you can tell he is passionate about the sea and its inhabitants. The beach was empty and we had plenty of time to explore on our own. I would definitely recommend!

Loved this group! They’re so good at what they do. Really enjoyed our conversation. They were so attentive, personalized the experience for us, provided guacamole made right on the spot, provided sun shades, drinks including water, beer, margaritas (we implied margaritas since we’re not beer drinkers and it just happened to show up the next day). The team consists of a biologist, oceanologist, physicist, and Jorge (whose background I can’t remember). They just know so much about the area. We booked a second tour right on the spot for the next day because they were that good. Safety was definitely in check and you felt that you were well taken care of. I would definitely reach out to them again when I’m back in the area. And thank you Jorge for the coffee!

We had excellent snorkeling experience! We booked it last minute thanks to Mireya responding promptly and making a room for us on her busy day for private tour. We had the whole beach to ourselves. Mireya took time and made us comfortable in the water before guiding us around the reef to beautiful fish and corals. Fresh Guacamole was awesome treat.

We did the hidden beach snorkeling trip and had such an amazing time that we booked whale watching while we were still on the beach with them!
We had our 5 &7 y/o boys with us on a family trip and were so lucky to have found Belem, Ani and Mariana!
The snorkeling was perfect and the cove was sheltered and gentile place for our kids to practice snorkeling and swimming in the water. We felt safe in their care. Ani made the guacamole on the beach while we took a break and it was delicious!
The whale watching was EPIC!! Tale & fin slapping and breaching were in abundance! It was so special! Belem is an awesome captain and ensured we had a great show from a respectful distance. And they are so knowledgeable! Who wouldn't want a guided tour from Oceanologists and a Biologist!?
You can tell these ladies really care about the animals and this beautiful planet we share with them. I'm telling everyone I can about this woman owned and run business and the kick ass time we had with them. We need more people like this in the world.
Thank you for the special memories ❤️ we will never forget our time with you!

Mariana and the other guide were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Our large group met them in the parking lot and they were so friendly and had all the gear we needed for our excursion. The hike wasn’t that far but I would recommend sneakers vs flip flops to go over the rocks. The hidden beach was quite beautiful and we were the only ones there. While snorkeling in the protected reefs we saw a green moray eel and quite a variety of fish. It was fantastic! We then chilled out on the beach while they made us a snack of chips and homemade guacamole- delicious! I would highly recommend this excursion with Cabo Nature!

This tour was absolutely phenomenal! Our guides, Marianna and Aurora, were so kind, so knowledgeable and so much fun. They made sure all of us were able to keep up with the hike, they explained each part of the tour so well and had so much fun enjoying the experience with us. We had various levels of snorkeling experience and they were so accommodating. I would recommend this tour to absolutely everyone and especially if you are lucky enough to be guided by Marianna and Aurora, you are guaranteed an amazing experience. We cannot wait to come back and book this tour again!

What a great snorkeling experience. Good communication and accommodated the weather to change our snorkeling location to a safer location. The snorkeling equipment and life jackets were provided and in good condition. A snorkel guide stayed with us in the water and helped us find additional fish to view. Finally excellent guacamole and beers/water were provided after snorkeling. All in all a wonderful experience. Would definitely cool with them again and recommend to anyone.

Gorge and Captain Mariya provide such an amazing experience.
They know so much about the local land and fauna and have lots to teach you.
We booked as a couple and one other nice couple joined us
The waves were big on the day we booked. Mariya reached out to us to let us know that the trail would be very hard with the waves and they had another spot to go where the waves stay small despite the tide. Great communication.
we went to a spot called Pelican Rock. It still had heaps of fish and sealions. We got a full historical tour too.
All the equipment was clean and worked well.
Her guac is AMAZING
Beers and waters provided. Overall very fun
Had a great time. Couldn't recommend them enough!

My friend and I did this snorkeling experience with Mariana and Aurora and it was fantastic! Even though I knew I was going snorkeling and hiking, it did not occur to me to take my water shoes. I only had flip flops but was still able to complete the short hike over rocks. I definitely recommend taking better shoes that can get wet - not doing so was my fault!
Loved the beach and calm demeanor of both guides. Aurora took us in the water while Mariana watched over our things and watched us from the beach. We saw lots of really cool fish - bugle, puffer, and many other beautiful fish that I cannot remember the names of.
We loved this tour, our guides, and the experience! We really highly recommend and I will definitely do with them again the next time I go to Cabo!!

Amazing snorkeling! I have never seen so many fish and so many different kinds of fish in one place. They were so close I could reach out and touch them! It was like swimming inside the tank at the Aquarium - except we were out in the ocean over a beautiful coral reef. Our guides, Mireya, Arturo and another woman (apologies, I forgot her name) were wonderfully kind, supportive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Plus they made us delicious guacamole from wonderfully fresh avocados.
Getting to the hidden beach required a 15 minute hike, clambering over rocks. As a 60 year old with poor balance and bad feet, I needed my husband's steadying hand, but the younger folk scampered over them easily. Totally worth the trek.
