Los Cabos

While Cabo is rightly famous for its luxury and nightlife, its soul is deeply wild, defined by a starkly beautiful landscape that serves as a stage for some of the planet’s most incredible marine life. The convergence of the nutrient-rich Pacific Ocean with the warmer, protected waters of the Sea of Cortez creates a biological superhighway, attracting a staggering array of pelagic species. This makes the waters off Cabo one of the most reliable places to witness humpback whales (December to April) as they breach and tail-slap in the deep channels, while also being a renowned corridor for massive pods of dolphins—including playful bottlenose and sleek, acrobatic spinner dolphins—that commonly bow-ride alongside boats. Beyond the whales and dolphins, this rich ecosystem supports year-round action, from immense schools of jacks and tuna to cruising hammerhead sharks and majestic manta rays, all set against a breathtaking desert backdrop where towering cinnamon-colored cliffs and giant cardón cacti plunge into the brilliant blue sea, creating a scene of raw, powerful beauty.
