Cabo San Lucas Travel Forum

I am going to have a free week stay at Villa del palmar in Cabo.

But I am doing some research and I WOULD love to go whale watching. It looks like some of the best whale watching is about 500 to 600 miles away.

I believe doing one of the 3 to 4 night stays at something like www.kuyima.com would actually be one of our highlights!!! If I had all the time and money I wanted I woudln't hesitate on doing something like this.

I am trying to decide the following:
1. Should we just stay in Cabo and try to see some whales closer
2. Go ahead and take a few days to go to one of the places far away
3. If we do decide to make this a priority - what company to use, where to go etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions!!!

Is it worth the trip?
I will be going from Dallas Ft worth -- where should I fly in if we decide to go on one of the whale trips that are far from Cabo. Should we fly in near cabo and then travel to one of the other places, or fly in somewhere near the whale watching stay a few days then fly down etc.

Which tour company/suggestions on whale watching experiences.

If these are too many questions in one post..I can break them up.

THANKS!!

well depending on the time of year u are here, the whales here in cabo come in thick! jan to march is the best time, they migrate right past the los cabos region. the best way is by sail boat as the motor is off and the whales are disturbed.

We've done the whale "watching" (in our case, petting two whales) at Laguna San Ignacio and it was wonderful.

My 72 year old mother-in-law was crying at the end of the tour -- she said "this was one of the highlights of my life; right up there with having my children..." That about says it all.

If money is no object, there's a landing stip at Laguna San Ignacio and see if there are any charter flights available from Cabo. Otherwise, you're in for one looonnnngggg drive (recommend flying into Loreto commercially and then driving from there).
