Winter warmer

The whale watching season in Los Cabos, December through March, marks the arrival of whales that migrate from the frigid waters of the Arctic Ocean to the warm, calm waters surrounding the Baja Peninsula. Ideal salinity and abundant marine life make the bays and lagoons around Los Cabos the perfect place for whales to birth and rear their young. Of the eight species that venture to Cabo, the most visible are the humpback whales, which spout close to shore and thrust themselves out of the water in fantastic leaps. Whale-watching excursions are available from the Cabo San Lucas marina.
