Little is known about this magnificent giant, but its migration pattern predictably brings several individuals into the Sea of Cortéz from April through early June, before doing the journey to colder waters up north. Mothers and calves can be seen, showing the confidence of knowing they will not be hurt by humans in this area.

One of the largest animals on earth, the fin whale is a common visitor to the protected waters of the Sea of Cortéz, never in groups but often in pairs. They do not show a friendly behavior, or seem to be scared of people or boats, but they prefer to be let alone and dive for long periods of time.

Very common resident of the Sea of Cortéz. Large pods can be seen up and down the gulf feeding on their favorite food, giant squid. Sperm Whales can be found all year round, but are not predictable, as they just follow the food and do not migrate away from this body of water.

A very popular species due to its habit of jumping out of the water and singing aloud, the humpback whale can be observed during April through June, particularly in the southern tip of the peninsula, in both coasts.
