The optimal period to observe whales in the waters near Cabo San Lucas typically spans from mid-December through mid-April. During this time, various whale species, most notably the Humpback whale, migrate to the warmer waters of the Baja California peninsula for breeding and calving.
Witnessing these marine mammals in their natural habitat offers significant ecological and economic benefits. Whale watching tourism contributes to local economies and promotes awareness of marine conservation efforts. The annual migration represents an important part of the marine ecosystem and provides valuable research opportunities.
