Whale watching is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not only do you get to witness one of the most majestic creatures in the world, you also get to learn more about them and discover what makes them so great.
Cabo San Lucas is one of the most preferred destinations for whale watching. The island consists of giant humpback whales that you can see in all their glory as you sail through its blue waters and scenic views.
If you’re planning to go whale watching soon, keep the following things in mind:
Earlier isn’t always better
Oftentimes, wind speed tends to pick up during the afternoon; therefore, you’ll find the ocean calmer during the morning. If you’re prone to seasickness, you may want to consider cruising in the morning to make your whale watching experience comfortable.
That being said, keep in mind that there is no specific time that guarantees you’ll spot a whale. You might however, want to take later cruises as their crew will know where the earlier ones spotted the whales, and set sail from there.
Be prepared for the worst
Sure, it’s exuberating to spot a whale and take all those Insta-worthy shots, but be prepared to not spot one either. Or spot one from afar. Your crew can predict to the best of their ability and knowledge when they’ll spot the whale, but there is still a bit of uncertainty in this prediction regardless.
You may also see dolphins and other sea creatures along your way. So appreciate everything, and regret nothing!
Book in advance
The peak whale watching season attracts large amounts of visitors from all over the world. In order to save money and get the best deals, make sure you book in advance. This is also particularly important if you’re travelling with children as it will have you avoid lengthy delays that can irritate them.
Take some snacks
Whale watching tours can take up to hours on end. While you may be offered food on board, it’s a good idea to take your favorite snacks along. This will not only keep your energy up, it’ll help you stay focused and determined on spotting your whale too!
