Cruise ship passengers can arrange pickup from a hotel near the dock for an additional fee.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're staying in a Cabo hotel or arriving by cruise ship and want the main sights—the Arch, the bay, San Jose's colonial district—without renting a car or planning stops yourself.

The fixed schedule and small group size mean you're not competing with dozens of other boats for the same sighting.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see whales during peak season without the chaos of large tour boats — the small group size and morning or afternoon schedule are what make it possible to actually observe the animals instead of just spotting them from a distance.
