Paradisus Los Cabos by Meliá | Adults Only

Embrace your nature and be part of this unique and exciting activity. From December to April each year Humpback Whales and Gray Whales migrate down to the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean to mate and give birth. They spend their summers up north (Alaska, British Columbia, Washington State) and their winters down south, which includes Los Cabos. The migration brings Humpback Whales back into Los Cabos area beginning in the middle of November. Typically we see adult Humpback Whales transiting through Los Cabos from mid November until early December. By mid December the population of Humpback Whales in Los Cabos is nearing its peak and the activity level overall is high. This continues until late January with adult Humpback Whales dominating the tours. In late December and into January we start to see new born baby Humpback Whales. By early February the baby Humpback Whales start to become more active and their energy and activity level dominates our tours until the end of the season in April. We do also see groups of adult Humpback Whales migrating north in March and April. The other species that migrates into Los Cabos is the Gray Whale. Typically arriving in early January the adult Gray Whales are often in small groups and seen in Los Cabos until late March. Unlike the Humpback Whales, the majority of Gray Whale mating, birthing and nursing activity occurs further north in areas like Magdalena Bay. Here in Los Cabos we usually observe Gray Whales fairly close to shore. Gray Whales are not as common as Humpback Whales in Los Cabos.

San José del Cabo’s authentic Mexican atmosphere is a charming counterpoint to the non-stop action of sister city Cabo San Lucas. Just 20 miles away from Cabo at the other end of the Tourist Corridor, you’ll find a colonial town of tree-lined streets, pastel-hued adobe buildings and a beautiful church facing the town square. San José’s pace is slower than that of its notorious sister city—perfect for honeymooners and those seeking a more traditional Mexican getaway.

Located at the tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez at the iconic Land’s End arch (“El Arco”), Cabo San Lucas (also known simply as “Cabo”) is all about non-stop action, sizzling nightlife, celebrity sightings, gorgeous beaches and world-class sportfishing girded by luxurious amenities and astonishing natural beauty.
