surfhawaii Posted August 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2016 My husband only said yes to our December 24th cruise to Cabo, Mazatlan and PV to see some whales. He's not going to be a happy camper if he doesn't see any whales. I looked at a navy seal looking boat excursion that seemed to be the best for getting to them. Any suggestions for whale watching in these three places are much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Look outside a few hours before anchoring in Cabo. We saw lots of whales and dolphins from the ship. One of the best sights I saw-- We were already anchored when an NCL ship rounded Land's End. There was a whale jumping in front of the ship. I'd take a ship's tour from Cabo. If for nothing else, the ship excursions have priority for the tenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Generally, you should expect to see whales there in late December. Cabo would be the best target, PV shortly behind. Have not heard about whale watching in Mazatlan. Edited August 30, 2016 by CruiserBruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfhawaii Posted August 30, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thank you both! That's a great idea on the tender!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvpends Posted September 17, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2016 A couple of years ago, when sailing out of Mazatlan in late December, there were a bunch of whales swimming near the ship. Make sure that you are outside when getting near and when leaving ports. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexico8 Posted September 17, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Whales were extremely scarce in PV last winter (January through March). Hope to see more this winter. Last winter was the worst in a long time for whale sightings. We heard that the ocean was too warm in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
