The zodiac cuts a silver path across the Sea of Cortez as the sun slides toward the horizon. Salt spray cools the cheek; beneath the hull, the water carries low, rolling voices. On Cabo Expeditions’ Whale Concert you don a life jacket, lean against the rail and listen as humpbacks answer one another in a language older than the shoreline.

Bring a windproof layer
Even in Baja evenings get chilly on the water; a light insulated shell keeps you comfortable during the sunset portion of the tour.
