What our clients say about their Whale Watching experience in Los Cabos with us

Aldo is the best

"The sunset cruise and whale watching were incredible. Aldo at the Riu Palace all-adult resort was best ever he hooked us up."

- Kevin J

Fabulous Cruise Experience

"This was an amazing private yacht experience! The crew was the best part. They were kind, informative, fun, and very experienced. All of us felt very safe and catered to. We were able to decide whether we wanted to whale watch, snorkel, or just sight see. They also had great appetizers! I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a fun and private experience on the water in Cabo, especially at sunset, to book this cruise!"

- amandatQ2135TC

Highly recommend

"We booked a private yacht experience via Beni at the Riu Palace Baja Cali. We ended up going out with Captain Javier, Abraham, and Emmanuel for a sunset cruise. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! [...] Despite the epic scenery and the whales, the staff truly made the trip. They were professional, helpful, and so much fun! This was the highlight of our group's trip (all 10 of us)! I would highly recommend this cruise (and this team specifically) for anyone looking to get out on the water while in Cabo!"
