Jeafl Posted February 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I do see that Carnival offers a whale watching excursion, but I have read that the whales are pretty much gone by then. It's not a cheap excursion, so I do not want to waste my money if the whales are pretty much gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went in March 2 years ago, it was around the 21st and we saw plenty of whales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famof4togo Posted February 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2022 We always sail late March (kids Spring Break) and we always see whales from our balcony...I haven't done as an excursion, but I do think those lagging whales that just wanted to hang out in the warm water a bit longer will be still heading home late March.

There may be some into April, but the numbers further shrink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeafl Posted February 15, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The excursion we are looking at would be on March 30 On 2/11/2022 at 1:23 PM, jas283a said: How late in March?

jas283a Posted February 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I think what Bruce said earlier is probably accurate, the later you go the less you see. I might reach out to a independent tour operator in Cabo and get an idea from them. They could give you an idea, and let's face it, one of these companies is one that Carnival uses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djsmrs Posted February 23, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2022 You're very likely to see them. We go the last two weeks of March every year and see countless whales from our balcony facing the pacific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted February 24, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The official whalewatch season in Puerto Vallarta ends on March 23. Yes there still might be a few whales around after that but less then earlier in March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieBug28 Posted March 10, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2022 If you book through a third party, many will offer a money back guarantee if you don't see whales! So that is something that might be worth looking into. We've seen them every time we've been in Cabo, usually in the winter but a couple of times in the shoulder season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray whales do the famous migration from November to April that there are excursions for, but if the gray whales are mostly gone then the blue whales and humpbacks are likely around. You may even spot orcas, which technically are technically dolphins. We had a pod of them hanging around Newport Beach this last December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djsmrs Posted March 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Just got home from 2 weeks in Cabo and we saw whales in the pacific every day - and didn't really have to look too hard or for too long to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famof4togo Posted April 1, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2022 We too were in Cabo last week and saw whales daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
