Whales in Cabo: What You Need to Know

Whales travel about 3,000 miles during a 10- to 12-month gestation period. Above the ocean, their breathtaking performance is a way of communicating with other whales, and below the surface, they produce a wide range of fascinating singing sounds. Humpback whales can reach sizes of over 50 feet in length and weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. They are perhaps the most famous whale species for breaching, which is on full display near Cabo. Whale watching season in Cabo ranges from early December to mid-April, with the season peaking from late December to late January. Along with the humpback, you can spot a variety of whales in Cabo, including Blue whales, Gray whales, and Orca whales.
