Cabo is well known for its great weather and a great variety of game fish. The warm water temperatures of the Sea of Cortez blends with the currents of the Pacific Ocean to offer the perfect combination for the offshore species, including Marlin of the Black, Blue and Striped species, Sailfish, Dorado, Tuna, Wahoo and more.

That is why Los Cabos has been an ideal spot to hold some of the largest fishing tournaments in the world. The tournaments start in late June and runs into November. Below is a list of the most popular tournaments.

STARS AND STRIPES
The Stars and Stripes fishing and golf tournament was established in 1996 and has quickly become the largest, fundraiser of the year for one Southern California Big Brothers, Big Sisters club. In addition to serving the youth of Orange County, Stars and Stripes also gives back to the communities of Cabo San Lucas donating modern medical equipment and new ambulances. They end each event with a pretty amazing concert highlighted by recognized names like the Doobie Brothers performing live. A good time while raising cash for charity is a sure bet.

Cabo San Lucas is a very special and unique place to encounter whales. It sits at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meets. These two bodies of water creates an ocean highway junction, making it ideal for whale migration.

Whales migrate from their feeding grounds in Alaska to the warm waters of Mexico to calve and nurse their off spring. Although some whales start arriving into the Sea of Cortez as early as November, December is the official date for whale watching season in Los Cabos.

The Grey and Humpbacks are the most common whales seen in the Sea of Cortez. There has also been sightings of Orcas, Bride, Blue and Minky whales. The whales can often be spotted from the beaches, but if you want to get a closer look, you should consider a whale watching tour. The whales commonly will approach the boats for you to get up close to these magnificent creatures. Cabo’s whale watching season officially closes on March.

Please feel free to contact us for more information on whale watching tours.
