cottonchopper Posted October 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2014 We are cruising to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta in mid-February and considering whale watching tours. Which port offers the best opportunities to see whales then? Any suggestions about good tour operators? I have read that one operator has a spotter plane, which could, perhaps, increase the chance of seeing whales. Has anyone been on this tour? Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamloops50 Posted October 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I would go with Cabo. I've seen whales in Cabo as the ship was leaving port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted November 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2014 You won't need a spotter plane, they are easy to spot their spouts. The whales came early to Cabo, there have been several sightings already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted November 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I prefer Cabo for Whale watching. I'm not saying you can't see them in PV, I have. I just find the experience so much easier in Cabo. Whale watch in Cabo and do something else in PV.:):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorefolks Posted November 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2014 We were in Cabo Jan. 31 of this year and took a morning whale watch. We probably saw more whales on that trip than all previous trips elsewhere combined. Double breaches, back flips, you name it. Bouncy ride that day but worth every bump. The grounds were not far from the harbor, too, and the boat delays slightly so you can see the spots for which the cruise ship wants too much to show you on an excursion.
