Recommendations

The best time of year for whale watching in Cabo San Lucas is between late December and the end of March. At this time, you’ll have the highest chance to witness fantastic whale interactions. In terms of the BEST time of the day, please take the following consideration: 08:00 am tour: usually flat ocean, and fewer boats in the area. People who tend to get seasick, families with young children, and older adults prefer this tour. 11:00 am tour: nicer temperature. This tour is the perfect mix between the early morning and the afternoon tour. The ocean can be a bit choppy. 02:00 pm tour: this trip is for the real adventurer. This tour is where great whale activity is possible. The ocean is regularly choppy; chances are high you will get wet!
Whales are here before and after the official season. If you travel in late November or early December, you may get to see mother whales and their newborn calves! Contact us to book a whale watching tour in the early season.
Note: Women that may be pregnant should not take this tour.
A MUST on every trip: Reef-safe sunscreen or rashguard, sunglasses and hat.

Our family of four (kids 9 & 11) had a great wonderful experience snorkeling with GLUUP in Cabo Pulmo.

My experience has been very positive—simply the best dives of my life. The treatment from the staff (sales team, guides, captains, etc.) was excellent, and I’m very happy. I would definitely do it again without hesitation.
