Fishing Trip
Whale Watching
Whales are abundant in the area from October to January, with sightings often continuing into March and April. Look for the spray of their spouts above the water or the sweep of their fins. Breaching is most common in late fall and early winter. There are many tour operators for whale watching in Cabo & in La Paz. You will want to check to see if they are operating yet as mid-October can be early for those tours.
